SUMMARY:VIOLETTE
DESCRIPTION:May 12 to 30\, 2021 – VIOLETTE – Theatre and Virtual Reality.\nViolette welcomes you into her world. She lets you enter the privacy of her room\, and then of her imagination. Only you. Step into her place as into the home of a friend; put on your VR headset; see a universe of snow and forest materialize in front of your eyes; become the sole witness to Violette’s untold story\, both magical and tragic. \nCreated and produced by JOE JACK & JOHN\, with Stephanie Boghen and Tamara Brown.\nSince its inception 17 years ago\, JOE JACK & JOHN’s goal has been to bring forward marginalised voices (collaborating with actors living with intellectual disability) and to make audiences reflect on current issues.\nVIOLETTE breaks down barriers while addressing a reality experienced by too many intellectually disabled women. During their lifetime\, between 70 % and 90% are victims of sexual abuse.

Nothing about the process feels natural to him. But for a gay man of a certain age\, making a family still means finding your own way through a world with few ready answers. The eighteen-month journey reveals many insights about Paul’s past and present\, from his strained relationship to his father\, his overprotective relationship with his partner Michael\, and the many friends around him whom he considers his family.\nChristopher DiRaddo lives in Montreal where he is the founder and host of the Violet Hour LGBTQ reading series. He is also the author of THE GEOGRAPHY OF PLUTO.

SUMMARY:A Casual Reconstruction & STRIKE/THRU\, at MAI and online
DESCRIPTION:𝗣𝗮𝘆 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻. 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝘀𝘂𝗴𝗴𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗱: 𝟭𝟬$. \n𝐀 𝐂𝐚𝐬𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 + 𝐒𝐓𝐑𝐈𝐊𝐄 / 𝐓𝐇𝐑𝐔 is a double-bill interdisciplinary encounter between two old friends from Tiohtià:ke/Mooniyang/Montreal. Nadia Myre is a contemporary visual artist and Algonquin member of the Kitigan Zibi Anishinaabeg First Nation\, and Johanna Nutter is a 7th generation euro-settler theatre maker and curator. Along with six invited participants\, they explore the uncomfortable feelings around being Indigenous and/or non-Indigenous. \nAt the heart of 𝐀 𝐂𝐚𝐬𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 is a recorded dinner conversation between six people whose origins are Indigenous and “other\,” about the politics of belonging within the confines of colonialism. A verbatim transcript is given to Settler participants\, who re-enact the conversation in front of the audience. Oscillations of identity constructs ensue. 𝐒𝐓𝐑𝐈𝐊𝐄 / 𝐓𝐇𝐑𝐔 is a playful exchange between Nadia and Johanna\, incorporating elements raised by the reenactment with their own lived histories\, in an always-evolving search for what a true act of conciliation might feel like and look like . \n𝐀 𝐂𝐚𝐬𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 + 𝐒𝐓𝐑𝐈𝐊𝐄 / 𝐓𝐇𝐑𝐔 have gone from stage to screen and will now live in both worlds simultaneously. Using the plasticity of the digital environment to bridge Nadia and Johanna’s disciplines\, and the accessibility of the virtual environment to reach out to a wider range of participants\, they are preparing a LIVE hybrid to be presented onstage at the MAI (Montréal\, arts interculturels) and online at the same time. June 3-5\, 2021 at 3PM EST \nNadia Myre et Johanna Nutter are recipients of MAI (Montréal\, arts interculturels)’s Alliance program.
