Confabulation presents: Tell the Family
Confabulation Montreal
Confabu-fans,
We here at Confabulation love the holidays. After all, what are the holidays without thoughts of family? And as a true-life storytelling show, what produces more tellable tales than those people whose presences and absences so largely made us the people we are today?
We have a few tradtions at Confabulation -- and one of our favourites is our annual Family show. Confabulation presents: Tell the Family. As always, all the stories will be true as can be told. As not usually, stories won't necessarily be about the storyteller. For this special show, we invite both personal stories about families, but also the stories we inherit -- tales of our grandparents, greataunts and long lost cousins.
We've had a ton of submissions -- but you can feel free to send us even more through the website: confabulationmontreal.com.
Tickets are $10 -- but buy in advance if you can... This one's always popular.
December 5th at 8PM
Tickets are available:
At confabulationmontreal.com
Or at the door the night of the event.

The Variations Mile End dancers perform an original choreographed performance using The wizard of oz as inspiration!
"Le Collectif Les Tisseuses s’est formé à partir de l’envie de rassembler des femmes et des personnes non binaires autour du jeu théâtral en décloisonnant les pratiques et les imaginaires. Il est composé de huit artistes aux origines, pratiques et vécus multiples.
Les Tisseuses ouvrent leur espace créatif avec une étape de la pièce Notre tour c’est quand?, une proposition scénique intimiste.
La pièce raconte l'histoire des funérailles de Pilar, la matriarche d'un quartier. On y retrouve des femmes aux horizons pluriels venues honorer la mémoire de celle qui a su entrelacer leurs existences en leur offrant la possibilité d’assembler leurs histoires. À travers ce moment de deuil, se tissent des liens qui transcendent les frontières de leur famille, de leur quartier et de leur pays, offrant un portrait poignant de la force des relations féminines et de la sororité.
En se rassemblant à la croisée des cycles de vies, les personnages que vous allez rencontrer s’adressent des questions millénaires, et cheminent au cœur de leurs vérités en nous rappelant qu’il n’est de refuge plus solide que celui de nos solidarités.
La pièce s’achèvera par un échange entre les artistes et le public, permettant de recueillir les impressions de ce dernier. Modéré par la directrice artistique du festival.
INSIDE MADPOETIX STUDIO is revolutionizing our Soirées Intimes Series by allowing the audience to get to know the feature performer through an interview during the show live. The artist will be interviewed by our host Kym Dominique Ferguson @Mrkdferguson. This is a one of a kind experience. There will be 8 Open Mic spots available for all genres: spoken word, poetry, comedy, singers, clowns, dancers, you name it we welcome it. They are each given a 5 min timeslot.
