11 artists, under the artistic direction of Jean-Pierre Pérusse, offer us their interpretation of SUPERHEROES. Often creating their art in precarious conditions, visual artists are in our eyes, cultural superheroes. By purchasing their masterpieces, you become their sponsors and their livelihood, 100% of the sales will go to the artists. Time to act! Also on exhibit: ARTISTIC ILLUSION (Kat Coric and Jean-Pierre Pérusse, with the collaboration of Robert Laliberté). |

The islands of the Caribbean are known for their beautiful beaches and tropical landscapes, but also for the passion and exuberance of the people and the festive events they create. Hot on the heels of last year’s success, producer David Côté is back with the second edition of the high-energy Tropical Zone event. Again this year, Hip Hop, Dancehall, Reggae, House, Soca and Calypso beats will get the crowd grooving with the talents of renowned DJs (Sandy Duperval, Blackcat, Eddie Lewis). Also performing will be Wiz Kilo, Supahead, Miss Katy, Joe Bello, Nadia Brown as well as Ill Nana from Toronto. The creator and producer of the event, David Côté, is also the mind behind the not-to-be-missed Faggy Baggy, the Hip-Hop night that has been hugely popular on the Montréal gay scene for eight years now. Having participated in many other events of this kind, Côté has also used his many trips to the Caribbean to explore some of the hottest movements in the islands, using them as his inspiration for The Tropical Zone. Come spice up your night! |

This is a large-scale production serving up three exciting hours of entertainment you won’t want to miss. |
