FWC - NO FUN (OFF-CINARS)
Helen Simard
“I’ll tell you about punk rock. Punk rock is a word used by dilettantes and heartless manipulators… And it’s a term that’s based on contempt. It’s a term that’s based in fashion, style, elitism, Satanism, and everything that’s rotten about rock’n’roll.” —Iggy Pop, 1977
Loud. In your face. Sexual but not sexy. NO FUN is an interdisciplinary dance performance inspired by the music and movement of punk icon Iggy Pop. This is a show that laughs in the face of failure, reaches out and strangles people, and doesn’t take itself too seriously. For 50 minutes, three dancers and four musicians hit you full force with a giant wall of movement and sound, leaving you feeling somewhere between “F*ck yeah!” and “What the hell just happened?” Grab some earplugs on your way in and leave your expectations in the lobby. We will have a real cool time tonight.
WARNING: This show contains coarse language, awkward silences, wailing guitars, underpants, and absolutely NO FUN.

Coming Soon
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.
Les Bestioles est un spectacle de danse inspiré par le voyage de la jeune Lucie dans le jardin de sa grand-mère, l’amenant à découvrir un monde rempli de petites bêtes jusqu’alors inconnues à ses yeux. Elle assiste à l’expression de ces bestioles et à leur transformation.
Meltdowns, diagrams, textures, vampires... what is it like to be autistic? And is it possible to convey that experience to others? There's only one way to find out: by trying, for better or for worse.
