Books 4 Kids Read 2 Adults
MainLine Theatre / Chat Perdu Productions
Books 4 Kids Read 2 Adults is what it sounds like.
While the lovely Tessa Brown reads from a book, its pages are projected on the wall behind her so the audience can simultaneously experience its magic.
Discover tales old & new, and chime in afterwards when we have a moderated discussion about each story!
The books that will be the topic of discussion this time are:
(1) I want my Hat Back.
(2) The Hole in the Dyke.
(3) The Giving Tree.
(4) The House That Crack Built.
Unlike an actual book club, do not endeavour to have fully read these books before arriving. Let yourself experience them for the first time at the event!

WARNING: This is a new event, and thus very experimental. Because this is the first time we are doing it, the format might change, even during the event itself. We apologize for its nature, which is in flux, and appreciate your understanding. Trying new things is how we create new wonders in the world. Further, the event might be a disaster, and no fun. So be prepared for that horrific eventuality, too.

The Creator of the Universe is coming to Montréal for the first time ever! God takes the stage in the form of Montréal actor Donald Rees in An Act of God: the divinely funny, critically acclaimed Broadway hit play by David Javerbaum, in which God and His devoted angels answer the deepest questions that have plagued mankind since creation.
"Le Collectif Les Tisseuses s’est formé à partir de l’envie de rassembler des femmes et des personnes non binaires autour du jeu théâtral en décloisonnant les pratiques et les imaginaires. Il est composé de huit artistes aux origines, pratiques et vécus multiples.
Les Tisseuses ouvrent leur espace créatif avec une étape de la pièce Notre tour c’est quand?, une proposition scénique intimiste.
La pièce raconte l'histoire des funérailles de Pilar, la matriarche d'un quartier. On y retrouve des femmes aux horizons pluriels venues honorer la mémoire de celle qui a su entrelacer leurs existences en leur offrant la possibilité d’assembler leurs histoires. À travers ce moment de deuil, se tissent des liens qui transcendent les frontières de leur famille, de leur quartier et de leur pays, offrant un portrait poignant de la force des relations féminines et de la sororité.
En se rassemblant à la croisée des cycles de vies, les personnages que vous allez rencontrer s’adressent des questions millénaires, et cheminent au cœur de leurs vérités en nous rappelant qu’il n’est de refuge plus solide que celui de nos solidarités.
La pièce s’achèvera par un échange entre les artistes et le public, permettant de recueillir les impressions de ce dernier. Modéré par la directrice artistique du festival.
