Paris, end of the 19th century: an idealistic baroness decides to socialize a savage child to replace her last maid. The baroness lives through photographs of her experiences, while the pig has never even seen her reflexion in a mirror. What follows is a humorous and shocking encounter between nature and civilization; a timeless subject for our 21st century appearance-obsessed society.

For more than a decade, translations of The Baroness and The Pig have been produced around the world. Imago Theatre is thrilled to present the Quebec English-language première!
