THE\u00c2\u00a0 BUCK WILD WILD WEST SHOW
\na one man slap stick political satire variety wild west\u00c2\u00a0 buffoon burlesque!<\/p>\n

He is currently working on a new show with material he has been developing in Montreal over the last three years studying at L\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 Ecole du Mime Omnibus and L\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 Ecole du Clown et Comedy Francine Cote here in Montreal.<\/p>\n

Jay Lemieux<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a>is a video activist, producer and media literacy teacher.\u00c2\u00a0 He helped create the “Smoke N’ Mirrors” show with Math Boylan and Sandrine Charbonneau.\u00c2\u00a0 He’s made numerous short documentaries on the subject of advertising, culture jamming and the commodification of the arts and culture.\u00c2\u00a0 He is also a founding member of the Infringement Festival and has been involved ever since.<\/p>\n

Tatiana Korelava
\n<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a>is a performance artist born in Western Siberia. Her works explore various ways of resistance against dominating standards for individual body in post-capitalist culture. Tatiana has graduated from the Visual Arts Department of the State University of New York in Buffalo, USA as the Fulbright Program scholarship holder. Currently she is working on her PhD research at the Department of Humanities at Concordia University (Canada), integrating Theater Studies, Studio Art and Communication. She has taken part in numerous international exhibitions and festivals.<\/p>\n

In my artistic work, video and performances, I investigate the possibilities of resistance to the dominant corporeal standard.\u00c2\u00a0 Physical body which absorbed the very materiality of state intervention into biological domain exists in the state of continuous repression, but at the same time it accumulates the potential for the unlimited deconstruction of the established order. The very physicality of the body serves as a perfect background for the subversion of social expectations on corporeal practices. I understand self-adoration, fetishism, self-abuse and other forms of marginalized sensuality as ways to resist socially controlled discourses of pleasure. A game with strictly imposed rules, pleasure, is turned in my pieces into the form of corporeal creativity open to all variations and forms. In general my pieces are meant to reveal the possibility of alternative modes of physical and psychic being in contemporary culture resulted from the state of repression and discontent.<\/p>\n

Talk\/Sing Skeleton<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a>From the coldest depths of a Montreal winter was forged a band composed of a most varied musical background: Talk\/Sing Skeleton! An infant of not even a year old, yet growing in style and assurance, the seven member ensemble brings to the listener a fine blend of folk and gypsy grooves, with lyrics in French and English that are sure to make one ponder the outer reaches of the human psyche, melodies of both a sorrowful and colourful nature, and rhythms to sway slowly or dance without worry to. Simple but complex, organized yet chaotic and at times wonderfully unexpected, Talk\/Sing Skeleton looks forward to seeing you on the dance floor at this year\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s infringement festival and beyond!<\/p>\n

Sandrine Charbonneau
