Place Émilie-Gamelin
 

PER7EPTION / THE EXPOSITION: HIV consciousness-raising campaign
Per7eption
Per7eption, this first-of–its-kind provocative AIDS campaign was created by Canadian HIV Positive artist Jean-Pierre Pérusse, multidisciplinary artist Kat Coric and photographer Bob Hendriks. Seven artists invite you to immerse yourself, as they did for this project, into the world of an HIV positive person through 7 original surrealist photo composites shot by Bob Hendriks and created by Jean-Pierre Pérusse. Visualize how an HIV positive person perceives society when afflicted by this disease.

This intimate, emotional and personal depiction addresses misinformation and misconceptions. It will not only speak to those touched by HIV, but to all those facing adversity: It is a truly universal theme.

This event allows members of both the LGBTA and mainstream communities to discover many exciting organizations, community groups, businesses and sports teams, run by and/or catering to the LGBTA community.

YVON GOULET AND KAT CORIC

Yvon Goulet

To underscore this year’s themes, “Stonewall :40 years!” and “¡Fiesta!“, the Café des Arts will receive and expose artists Mr. Yvon Goulet and Ms. Kat Coric, to highlight their social implication and how they portray the Montréal gay community through their paintings. You will have the opportunity to admire and purchase certain paintings exposed. You will also have the chance to see the artists in action during the “live painting” event at the Café des Arts this Saturday, August 15, between noon and 17:00. It’s a great time to meet, encourage and see these artists practising their métier.

Bunbury: The importance of Being Earnest – ENGLISH VERSION

ThÉÂtre Sainte-Catherine (264, rue Sainte-Catherine Est)

 

BunburyPresentations will be in both English and French for a total of ten performances from August 10 to 15 at Théâtre Sainte-Catherine (264 rue Sainte-Catherine Est) as an associate event of the Montréal Pride Celebrations 09.

Discover the rarely performed four-act version of this radically absurd classic play that was written well ahead of its time by a true literary genius. This adaptation by Davyn Ryall, although remaining true in its original message, sets the tale of these iconic characters of English literature in 1929 Montréal. It is perfect for a fun-filled summer season with laughs and the added flair of some catchy period music and dance steps.

This show features nine of Montréal’s own local bilingual professional talents: Nichole Carlone (Miss Prism), Simon Chaussé (Dr. Rev. Chausable), Jonathan Marquis (Lane, and Mr. Gribsby), Mélanie Martin (Gwendolyn Fairfax), Chris Nachaj (Algernon Moncrieff), Elsa Perez (Lady Bracknell), Marc-André Poulin (Jack Worthing), Kristina Sandev (Cecily Cardew) and Stéphane Turgeon (Merriman).

Directed by Davyn Ryall.
