THE BOOT PARTY
The Boot Party (Montréal,
Québec)
The Boot Party is our humble
tribute to joy and rage, leading us to perpetuate a tradition of
cultural resistance, born in South Africa's gold mines under the yoke of
Apartheid. Gumboot dance is a response of the workers to fight
isolation, a way to communicate with rhythms and without words...
Maison de l'amitié, 120 Duluth East,

RONI
After eleven frustrating years in various musical
projects, Roni Mizrahi decided to make a gameboy his main bandmate,
because it can follow instructions and won't puke much if he tries to
make it play Mariah Carey.

HOOLA VACHE
Francine and Ginette invite
you on a crazy ride that will make you dizzy. These adventurous bandits
straight out of the depths of America, expertsin the art of booty
trapping, will enlace the crowd with their charms. Every trick worth
trying is in this rush for liberty. The epic western of two cow girls,
Hoola Vache! is a show mixing clowning, hoola hoop and acrobatics!

IT IS BETTER TO RIDE THE
DUNG BEETLE THAN IT IS TO TREAD ON SOFT CARPET
Lucy Hutson (UK)
My performance is is not
about re-telling a story but creating an experience which we share
together. I wish to explore the intersections where we all collide,
where I meet you and where we meet them. This performance is a surreal
adventure which involves one woman, one washing line and one pair of
used long johns.

MARIE TRESANINI
Marie, young
singer-songwriter, takes us to a universe where poetry, humor and
sensuality blend together. In good spirit, this actress slowly reveals
herself through many characters...like the coquine, who confesses her
secrets from her bed, or like the famous free lover that tells us of her
misadventures. She can also touch us with more socially aware texts or
wrap us in sensuality. Her casual universe is also inspired by
flamenco.
