MTL Clown Fest - As you wish / La vie tragique des étoiles
MTL Clown Fest
Bilingual.
As you wish:
Dans mon histoire, mon clown part dans une aventure, naïve et heureuse dans ce que nous appellerons la société. Il reçoit un appel, un message lui disant qu’il doit accepté ce qu’il est un « clown » ou « une personne de couleur » et se fait ainsi enseigner par des institutions plus grandes que celui-ci comment « agir » comme une « personne de couleur » selon des clichés préétablis et des notions créer par la société. Mon clown essaie de répondre à cette demande à cette image à laquelle il essaie de ressembler, mais à la fin décide de rejeter ce modèle et rejette son nez rouge, son statut de « token black friend ».

La vie tragique des étoiles:
Difficile la vie de star… Philidor, chanteur étoile, et Rebecca, sa femme colorée, doivent ensemble sauver un spectacle au destin tragique. Tout semble conspirer contre eux. Est-ce que l’Amour vaincra la mort? La lumière triomphera-t-elle des ténèbres… On sait pas.
Hard is the life of a star ... Philidor, star singer, and Rebecca, his lively wife, must together save a show from a tragic destiny. Everything seems to conspire against them. Will Love overcome death? Will the light will triumph over darkness ... We do not know.
"La vie tragique des étoiles" par Philippe Thibaudeau and Becky Priebe

Founded in 2016, the mandate of The MTL Clown Fest is to create space for all levels of performers to showcase original works that fall under the Clown, Bouffon or Physical Theatre spectrum. Included in the mandate we welcome people of all genders, but are making an effort to increase representation of women-identified, gender-non-conforming and trans performers. With this in mind, we will make an effort to strive for equal and proportionate representation in our space. We are dedicated to cultivating a multi-cultural program, welcoming French, English and Nonsensical Clown Language, as well as a vast multitude of other cultural Tricksters.
Tickets can be purchase online or by telephone Tuesday through Saturday from 2pm-6pm.
Please note that same day sales are by telephone only.

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.
The Montreal Clown Festival is pleased to return to its roots at the home of the St. Ambroise Montreal Fringe Festival to present a cabaret of new work, “New Recipes” featuring 12 brave clowns.
Under the direction of Gabe McKinney (Director, Old God; Speigleworld; Dell-Arte graduate and guest teacher), 12 performers developed short new works for the opening night of the 4-day Clown festival after a same-day, high-stakes workshop.
The Creator of the Universe is coming to Montréal for the first time ever! God takes the stage in the form of Montréal actor Donald Rees in An Act of God: the divinely funny, critically acclaimed Broadway hit play by David Javerbaum, in which God and His devoted angels answer the deepest questions that have plagued mankind since creation.
