Louise Latraverse

This event took place on

04/10/2024

L'amour crisse: the show's title echoes Louise Latraverse's heartfelt response to a question posed by France Beaudoin on the program En direct de l'univers: " Can you name one thing the Covid won't get rid of? Her answer, "l'amour crisse", set Quebec ablaze. To see Louise Latraverse on stage is to have privileged access to an era of madness and effervescence, revealed by one of our most flamboyant artists, whose life was anything but a long, quiet river. Just imagine: she lived in New York with her husband Emmett Grogan, a champion of the American underground in the 1960s, partied with celebrities and lived like a free spirit at a time when anything went. Lively, intelligent, funny and spontaneous, Louise Latraverse offers a new, different and original show, in a tone of confidence and irreverence. Directed by Anick Lemay.

Ferrari en feu, Le Crue

This event took place on

29/09/2024

Created between Paris, Quebec and Tunis, "Ferrari on Fire" is an ode to individual and collective freedom. With audacity and spontaneity, the duo transforms constraint into a realm of possibilities. In the confined space of two chairs, the performers navigate discomfort, create tension, and seek to expand the space within and around them. Like a road trip, they progress through the various stations that make up the scenic area, encountering landscapes and meetings that influence their journey. In an era losing its sense of meaning, Julia-Maude Cloutier and Amélie Gagnon defy pressure and resist speed through a gestural language where space-time seems malleable, even paused. Creation: 2023 Duration: 30 minutes

Cine-Club “Suite canadienne”,

This event took place on

29/09/2024

In 1958, Suite canadienne, a piece now considered foundational to Les Grands Ballets Canadiens, was broadcast during the concert hour on Radio-Canada. More than fifty years later, a troupe ventures to pay tribute to the work from a decolonial and introspective perspective, questioning notions of national identity through dance. Olivier Godin immerses himself in their rehearsal routines and integrates an element of hybridity between documentary and fiction by bringing back to life Ludmilla Chiriaeff, the original choreographer of Suite canadienne, who passed away in 1996. Reality thus borrows from the fabricated capacities of cinema, highlighting the playful and reflective potential of art in all its forms. Credits: Country: Canada (Quebec) Year: 2023 Duration: 68 MIN Cinematography: Renaud Després-Larose Director, Editor, and Sound Design: Olivier Godin Producer: Adam Kinner Music: Philippe Melanson Olivier Godin is a Quebec filmmaker and screenwriter who studied cinema at Collège Ahuntsic and Concordia University. His short films La boutique de forge (2012) and Feu de Bengale (2014) each won the award for Best Canadian Short Film at the Festival du nouveau cinéma. In 2013, he received the CALQ Award for Full Love, which was voted Best Work of Art and Experimentation. In 2014, the first retrospective of his work was presented at the Cinémathèque québécoise, the same year Nouvelles, Nouvelles, his highly acclaimed second feature film, was released. He is also the author of the feature films Les arts de la parole (2016), En attendant Avril (2018), Il n'y a pas de faux métier (2020), and Irlande cahier bleu (2023). La suite canadienne (2023) is his first foray into documentary filmmaking. He occasionally writes about cinema, mainly in the magazine Hors champ. This film is presented for free as part of the Journées de la Culture, within the framework of the "Festival du film sur l'art près de chez vous".
