You’re Just a Place That I Know

Single Events You’re Just a Place That I Know is a remarkable theatrical concert based on his album of the same name. It traces the history of JUNO-nominated singer-songwriter Adrian Glynn McMorran McMorran's Ukrainian grandparents, who left their homeland during World War II to begin life anew in Montreal. The show powerfully evokes questions of ancestry and generational connection through song and story, both from McMorran and other members of the diverse 7-piece band, while a multigenerational choir fills the stage. McMorran leans into the details of his grandparents’ story, from his 16-year-old grandmother being forced by Germans from her Carpathian village into indentured labour a thousand kilometers away to his grandfather folk-dancing to win cigarettes from impressed Allied soldiers in a refugee camp. But he realizes there was more to tell than just his own family’s narrative. Event Summary: You’re Just a Place That I Know is a remarkable theatrical concert based on his album of the same name.

Parler mal

Single Events What is “good” French? Parisian French, Montrealer French, Brusselian French? Is there one correct way of expressing oneself, one accent that is above the rest? Long silent for fear of being judged, Bianca Richard and Gabriel Robichaud chose to face their linguistic insecurity and ultimately free themselves from it.

In examining what language means to the construction of our identities and imaginations, this tribute to setting speech free echoes beyond borders to welcome the diversity of our ways of expression through language.

Liste des enfants dévorés par les loups

Wildwoman

Single Events In Wildwoman, we follow the story of Catherine de Medici, the young newlywed of King Henry II of France, who thinks her life at court will be a fascinating forum of political discourse. Instead, the palace is a cruel and disturbing place where her singular function is to be a baby-making machine for male heirs. Even the other women at her side, a scheming lady-in-waiting and the king’s power-hungry mistress, seem to mostly fend for themselves. The only kinship she finds is with the paperback-romance hot, head-to-toe hair wildman kept in the dungeon as one of the king’s collection of caged oddities. His friendly and feral presence gradually awakens Catherine’s own wild side, and once she unleashes it, no one is safe from her vengeful wrath. Based on the shocking true story that inspired Beauty and the Beast, Kat Sandler brings her trademark rapid-fire wit to this salacious saga of an infamous bad girl who could not be tamed.
