The Last Days of Judas Iscariot
inFurnace Theatre
"Between Heaven and Hell- there is another place. This place: Hope. Hope- is located right over here in downtown purgatory.
...Now Hope, it changes with the times, but has stood always as God's gift to the last of his children. It is said that every civilization rearranges the cosmic furniture differently. In biblical times, Hope was an Oasis in the Desert. In medieval days, a shack free of Plague. Today, Hope is no longer a place for contemplation- litigation being the preferred new order of the day."
The trial begins for the life of Judas Iscariot. Witnesses and expert testimonials will be called upon, and the jury will determine whether, after more than 2000 years, Judas should be allowed into heaven.

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.
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.
"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.
