Raphaëlle Lalande in a pastiche of the musical Cats
The Bocal Project trio, made up of Sonia Cordeau, Raphaëlle Lalande and Simon Lacroix presents show time – A big play at the Jean-Duceppe Theater. “We must salute the audacity of the artistic directors of Duceppe to present a show typically produced at La Licorne, which kindly makes fun of American theater – a genre that has made the Duceppe theater’s heyday – but also of the sponsors – who are the bread and above all the butter of these artists”, writes our critic Jean Siag.

The garden of delightsby Marie Chouinard, is presented at Usine C.
This is a unique opportunity to see this memorable creation by Marie Chouinard, presented only once in Montreal to date. Inspired by the grandiose painting by the Dutch painter Jérôme Bosch, a triptych considered by many to be one of the greatest paintings to have existed, The garden of delights imagined by Chouinard echoes it with a work in three acts – The Garden of Earthly Delights, Hell, Heaven. Grandiose, the piece, first created in 2016 in the wake of the 500e anniversary of the painter’s death, deploys moving reproductions, painted scenes and playful dances bringing to life on stage positions and accessories found on the canvas. A phantasmagorical fresco to see or see again.

At the movie theater : She Said
The film She Said presents the investigation of the two journalists of the New York Times, Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey, which led to the downfall of film producer Harvey Weinstein. A film that works despite a few small hiccups “which, in the end, serve to keep the viewer in suspense,” says our journalist Marissa Groguhé. “Actresses Carey Mulligan and Zoe Kazan embody their roles very well and allow us to become attached to these journalists while making us understand the weight they carry. »
