With more than 3,300 performances for over 3 million audience members, Brew is one of Québec’s greatest cultural phenomena. Inspired by the simple and all-male bar-going experience, the comedy explores the familiarity, candour and woes of these men and their era.

The exhibition goes behind the scenes of this cult play, exploring its sets, props and costumes. Through a number of videos, the actors and the team behind the production share their thoughts and reflections. In the exhibition you will find 186 objects, including 174 from the MCQ collection and 12 objects loaned by the actors.
