Eight plans for the weekend | Suggestions for getting out of the house

Comedian Virginie Fortin continues the tour of her show My feelings at the Lion d’Or, in Montreal, from October 13 to 15. General admission tickets. “We love Virginie Fortin’s ability to find jokes where there are none, which she does brilliantly in her new solo show, My feelings. Like when she exposes her reflections on space-time and manages to trigger bursts of laughter, ”wrote journalist Marissa Groguhé on March 10.

Comedian Guillaume Pineault presents Detour at Salle Hector-Charland in Joliette, October 13, 8 p.m., and at Salle Désilets at Cégep Marie-Victorin, on October 14, also at 8 p.m. “Guillaume Pineault is therefore one of those with whom it is good to spend time, which counts for a lot. His texts are mainly driven by the amusing familiarity of the portrait he paints,” wrote journalist Dominic Tardif on March 9.

Italian-born dancer and choreographer Silvia Gribaudi is visiting Montreal for the first time at the invitation of Danse Danse with her creation Graces. The piece is inspired by the Graces, daughters of Bacchus and Venus in Greek mythology, and more particularly by neoclassical sculpture The three Graces, which has become a universal benchmark for beauty. Reference that the choreographer questions with humour, self-mockery and modernity, transforming the Graces into three Apollos, revisiting the traditional standards of beauty and the codes of representation.

The 11th^e Phénomena festival continues until October 21. This weekend, the traditional Dada cabaret will be hosted by the always surprising Alexis O’Hara. On the menu for this evening of disrespect, extravagance and transgression, as the word “dada” suggests: the clownish Laurette and Arlette, the experiential rocker Jonathan Parant, the dancer-choreographer Jacques Poulin-Denis, the queer dancer Maxine Segalowitz and musician Beaver Sheppard.

Mario Cloutier, special collaboration

By popular demand, an additional screening of the excellent documentary Ennio was scheduled for Monday evening, October 17.

Marc-Andre Lussier

Hong Sang-soo’s films being rather poorly distributed in our lands, Montreal moviegoers will have the opportunity to see the penultimate offering of the prolific Korean filmmaker on Friday and Saturday at the Festival du nouveau cinema. At the borders of cinema and literature, The Novelist’s Film is a dramatic comedy, beautifully filmed in black and white, built around the encounter between a novelist lacking in inspiration and an actress. This 27^e feature film by Hong Sang-soo won the Grand Jury Prize at the Berlinale this year.

Shadowing, helicopter jump for interrogation in Morocco and raids on apartments; those who like crime thrillers will be delighted. The director Cédric Jimenez multiplies the close frames, so that we live in immersion the stress and the ardor of the investigators. During the final scene, we are literally – allow us the expression – at the end of our seat.
