Espace Go | A season under the sign of emancipation

Espace Go’s new artistic director, Édith Patenaude, has signed an innovative and intriguing first season. Strong women’s voices (from here and elsewhere) will be heard, some for the first time in this institution with a resolutely feminist mission.

Larissa Corriveau will be in the cast of the play A woman’s life.

Marie-Laurence Rancourt, playwright and director to whom we owe several theater projects (Alaaapinotably) and sound documentaries, is back at Go. His most recent piece, marked by strangeness, is entitled A woman’s life. The text is composed of short scenes in which a woman, invariably called Marie, reaches a tipping point that could change the course of her existence. A star-studded cast will be at the service of this story about our insatiable need for transformation: Annick Bergeron, Larissa Corriveau, Martine Francke, Maxim Gaudette and Roger La Rue.

From January 28 to February 15

Love in all its forms

The room love or nothing will mix dance, text and music.

Choreographer Mélanie Demers is carving out an increasingly important place for herself on the theatre scene with her hybrid productions where bodies and words are juxtaposed. Here, the raw material of the show love or nothing promises to be explosive, since it is the test all about love: new visions, of the feminist afrodescendante bell hooks. The latter dissects the notion of love, a theme very often trivialized by literature or cinema. Eight artists will support Mélanie Demers in her approach, including the musician Frannie Holder, the dancer Fabien Piché and the actress Ariel Charest.

From April 15 to May 10

Grief is at the heart of the play’s message. To make death.

Other pieces presented at Espace Go include: To make deathby Quebecer Krystel Descary, who focuses on this troubling question: can we mourn a person who is still alive? This play, which offers “alternative ways of thinking to approach our finality or that of our loved ones,” is directed by Marie-Ève ​​Milot. Starting November 12. Also on the program: Me, Jeannefrom the tandem Geneviève Labelle and Mélodie Noël Rousseau (from the company Pleurer Dans’Douche), as well as Creaturesfrom the collective L’eau du bain, which will unfold in a mixture of theater, performance and sound installation.
