La Radieuse Ramie
|
|
A lecture/show by one of the great women of Quebec theatre.
Otherwise known as Pol Pelletier, the Radieuse Ramie returns from a long
journey to offer a lecture/performance made up of songs, stories, and magical,
surprising moments. After dedicating herself to the great hardships of an
artist’s life as was decreed in ancestral memory, the Radieuse Ramie emerges
from the water to present us with a new definition of artists and a new way for
them to live. She is the first specimen of a new race: the Ramies.

[Shows at La Sala Rossa]
Full bilingue
|
|
A bilingual show with verve and wit for a city whose head spins with
language. Vive la difference! In English, French and Innu.
Recorded by CBC Radio One.
Cabaret hosted by actors Danette Mackay and Harry Standjofski, who can play
with words in French as well as in English!
A get-together for singers and an anarchist performer who grew up or work in
more than one language. A typically Montreal duality, n’est pas?
Susie Arioli, with a wonderfully unique voice, and Jordan Officer, guitarist
and talented arranger, explore jazz from the 30s, 40s and 50s with elan and
audacity, switching back and forth from French to English. A Texan on his
father’s side and French on his mother’s side, Quebec-born Thomas Hellman is
one of the top young singer-songwriters, whose first album Stories from Oscar’s
Old Café has been called a major musical discovery by both French and English
critics. He will be accompanied by pianist Olaf Gundel. The Innu singer Claude
McKenzie met with great success as part of the duo Kashtin and he is finally
back on the scene after a seven-year absence. Performer and anarchist violinist
Norman Nawrocki is one of the pillars of the underground scene, an activist who
has founded numerous bands and made many albums featuring his wild political
and anti-sexist music.
