Inside Out 2, Marcelle Ferron, Market of Possibilities… So many great ideas for the first long weekend of summer. Here are the suggestions from our journalists.
Even more emotions with Inside Out 2
On its first weekend in theaters, Inside Out 2 achieved the best box office of the year, raking in 295 million worldwide. Pixar’s latest production thus established a new mark for an animated feature film. The sequel to the 2015 film continues the brilliant exploration of the emotions of Riley Andersen, now 13 years old. Hit hard by puberty, she now lodges in her brain Anxiety, Envy, Boredom and Embarrassment, in addition to Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear and Disgust. Cohabitation is not easy and gives rise to confrontations that are as hilarious as they are touching. Both in the original version and in the Quebec translation, talented actors lend their voices to the likeable characters. Among these, Amy Poheler, Maya Hawke and Ayo Edebiri as well as Charlotte Le Bon, Sonia Vachon and Réal Bossé.

Marcelle Ferron on avenue Bernard
PHOTO MARTIN TREMBLAY, LA PRESSE ARCHIVES
Some of Marcelle Ferron’s most beautiful stained glass windows can be found in the Champ-de-Mars metro station in Montreal.
To celebrate the centenary of the Quebec automatist painter, sculptor and stained glass artist Marcelle Ferron, the borough of Outremont and the friends of Place Marcelle-Ferron have designed a small outdoor route called From the workshop to the public space. There are a dozen panels representing the artist’s works, from his first canvases painted in the 1940s to his major public art works of the 1960s and 1970s.
On avenue Bernard, between avenues d’Outremont and Champagneur, until September 22.

The new Marché des Possibilities website
For its tenth edition, the Marché des Possibilities is moving. It is now at 5705, avenue De Gaspé, at the corner of rue Bernard, that this festive outdoor gathering will take place every weekend, from June 21 to September 22. Musical performances, craft markets, workshops, family activities and much more are part of the free summer 2024 programming. It all begins this Friday, at 4 p.m., when the TITS Collective DJs will make the crowd dance during a sunny rave.

A green, green, green plant in Boisbriand
Since 1998, the Petit Théâtre du Nord has given itself the mandate of commissioning texts from Quebec authors for its shows presented in Boisbriand. This summer, Jean-Philippe Lehoux is signing the comedy A green, green, green plant, directed by Charles Dauphinais. The play is intended to be a science fiction journey into a crazy world where plants rule the world… and where humans remain stupidly themselves. A philosophical comedy that takes on the appearance of a B-series horror film or a nightmare road trip with family… Tantalizing.
From June 20 to August 24 at the Boisbriand Creation Center

The Pop Montréal organization is marking the International Day of the World’s Indigenous People with a free concert presented at Square Cabot, that is to say opposite the old Forum, in the heart of downtown Montreal.

More than 40 images taken from the enlightening documentary series Let us tell, by Kim O’Bomsawin, in which members of the 11 indigenous peoples of Quebec speak about themselves, will be presented at the First Nations Garden of the Montreal Botanical Garden. The exhibition entitled Let us tell-The Territory, also has an audio component, since the route is also embellished with capsules where our neighbors from the first peoples talk about their identity, their beliefs and their relationship to the territory. From June 21, as part of the International Day of the World’s Indigenous People. Kim O’Bomsawin’s series is available for free on Tou.tv.
