Ici, Maintenant Open World (Cie les Tambours Battants) France, street theatre workshop
We will work with 3 questions/topics: What makes you angry in this world ? What gives you the strength to Wake up every morning? What do you do (or what have you done) to make this world a better place ? This little theatre workshop is built around the « emergency of engagement », the importance of being fully present, here and now. People have things to say, to share… (program : training, writing, body work, control of spaces, etc.) Everybody can do it.
5pm, The Gazebo on Mount-Royal, call 514-867-5956 to confirm

Ashtray Heart, Schooner and Leemers
Ashtray Heart Montréal, QC music (English)
Ashtray Heart is your mom on crack. They said that they would dead before 30 but they didn’t die. They’re that good. Grown men weep before them , women run home to breed , children load their guns, and animals just shit all over each other. They’re that good. It’s a three piece. It’s guitar and drums and some guy called Al - that’s too much already.
