MTL Clown Festival: Tam & Phil + Nothing, Something, Anything
Montreal Clown Festival
"30 minutes extrait du spectacle FRAGILE!
« Faire rire, c’est faire oublier.
Quel bienfaiteur sur la terre, qu’un distributeur d’oubli ! » - Victor Hugo
Le spectacle sous forme de tableaux tantôt comiques, tantôt poétiques, souvent catastrophiques met en scène un couple de clowns à l’imagination débordante. Tam et Phil vous invitent dans leur univers joyeusement chaotique en vous proposant un extrait de leur spectacle FRAGILE!, le meilleur et le pire déménagent auquel vous aurez participé.
Avec / with: Philippe Trépanier, Tamara Bousquet.

Nothing, Something, Anything
Thomas Monahan first encountered clown at the age of 17 spending 31/2 months after school and on week-ends studying under the guidance of Richard Pochinko and Jan Henderson. A year later he attended Nova Scotia College of Art and Design, where he obtained his Bachelor of Fine Arts. For the next 20 years he worked as a painter/sculpture. In 2007 he joined Montreal Roller Derby, as a referee(Tommy Toxic). That same year he was invited to create a burlesque number for ‘Diary of a lost Circus’ which went well, and he became a regular in the scene. After 5 years, he stopped one day and asked “What the hell am I doing”? This began his desire to reconnect with clown and explore. In the last 3 years he has pursued training at The Manitoulin Centre for Creation and Performance, The San Francisco Circus Centre, Bont’s International Clown School and several week-end workshops. Avec/with: Thomas Monahan.

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.
What if you entered an empty rehearsal hall and suddenly an audience appears? Joseph Ste-Marie brings his experimental scripted/improvised one-man show, This Show is Broken back to the stage! This remount blends the 2021 Digital Theatre production from the Montreal FRINGE Festival and the original 2015 production at the 2nd annual Shortstanding Festival. Ste-Marie must perform his show as he explores his life, struggles, missteps, and tries to show that it’s not too late to pursue your dreams…. However, Joseph is challenged to be honest with himself so his show can be authentic as possible without being blinded by ambition.
