Edmonton-born but based in Montreal, Sean Nicholas Savage is a singer-songwriter who has been active on the indie scene for a dozen years and has made as many records. His songs for Please Thrill Me are the culmination of his exploration of major pop-music genres over the course of his albums. The narrative: two punks, Jazz (Savage) and Pop (Adam Byczkowski), meet while boarding a freight train. One is looking for himself, the other wants to go home to a big city by the sea. There they meet a series of characters, including the Artist (Jane Penny) and Rocky (Lulu Hugues), driven by all sorts of desires and ideals.
For this ambitious production, Savage has enlisted the services of actress and director Sophie Cadieux and the Pantomime Opera Ballet collective, which specializes in multidisciplinary shows.
