SUMMARY:Atlantic Boylesque presents: Love Sucks
DESCRIPTION:Atlantic Boylesque does Valentine’s Day differently. Designating a date to reflect on love can’t just be about dinner reservations\, over-extended credit limits\, roses imported from afar\, slavery chocolate\, and unmet expectations. We should also reflect on the dark side of love: heartbreak\, jealousy\, vengeance\, infidelity\, manipulation\, codependency\, and in-laws. So shake off those hetero-normative shackles\, give a finger to the wedding industrial complex\, and come celebrate all the ways in which Love Sucks. Early (5-7pm) and late (9-11pm) show tickets available.

SUMMARY:Le Vice-Consul
DESCRIPTION:Maud Andrieux interprétera le samedi 23 mars 2024\, sur les planches du Bus Stop Theatre l’oeuvre de Marguerite Duras Le Vice-Consul. La performance se fera en français avec des surtitres en anglais. \nSynopsis : \nL’Inde des années 30 et la diplomatie Française. Le Vice-consul loin de chez lui\, à l’autre bout du monde\, au beau milieu d’une puanteur\, \nd’une misère\, d’une horreur sans nom\, commet l’irréparable pour soulager d’autres hommes. A Calcutta\, dans l’attente d’une nouvelle affectation\, seule Anne-Marie Stretter\, la femme de l’ambassadeur va s’en rapprocher. Dans l’indifférence générale\, il est peut-être le seul à être encore humain. L’oeuvre Le Vice-consul incarne le rôle de l’écrivain tout entier selon Duras qui est de dire l’inacceptable.

SUMMARY:Red Like Fruit
DESCRIPTION:2b is thrilled to present the world premiere of Red Like Fruit by Governor General’s Award-winning playwright\, Hannah Moscovitch. Lauren asks Luke to narrate her life: her fraying mental health\, the growing sense of unease she feels in the world. While Lauren’s been reporting on a high profile case of domestic violence\, she’s been thinking back with eerie ambivalence on a set of sexual events from her adolescence\, and something in her has started to crash. Soon\, Lauren can no longer comprehend her own decisions and desires (like why she asked Luke to narrate for her in the first place). Red Like Fruit interrogates the many contradictions and complexities of complicity\, consent\, patriarchy and traumatic memory in the post #MeToo era. \nWritten by Hannah Moscovitch\nDirected by Christian Barry\nSet\, Lighting and Costume Design by Kaitlin Hickey\nPerformed by Michelle Monteith and David Patrick Flemming\nStage Management by Don Brownrigg\nProduction Management by Sylvia Bell\nAccessibility Coordination by Sara Graham \nNotes:\nDue to the nature of the story and the themes of the play\, 2b recommends that Red Like Fruit is only for audiences 16 years and older. Parental guidance is required.\nWe will be unable to admit latecomers to the performance. \nDuring the performances on Sundays April 7\, 14\, 21st CHILDCARE WILL BE AVAILABLE.\nDuring the performances on Wednesdays April 10th and April 17th MASKS WILL BE REQUIRED.\nFurther details on accessibility measures surrounding the show will be released in the coming weeks. \nNote: 2203 Gottingen Street is wheelchair accessible with private\, gender-neutral washrooms.

SUMMARY:Bread & Roses: Can You See Us?
DESCRIPTION:English & French bilingual performance | Performance bilingue anglais-français\n>>Register Here for FREE Childcare\nASL interpretation will be available\n“Bread and Roses: Can you see us?” is an original performance created by visual artist and labour organizer Tricia Robinson Illustration (she/her) and poet and social justice activist Laura Doyle Péan (they/them). This collaborative performance tackles topics of invisibilized labour\, union work\, collective liberation and the importance of solidarity in the face of intersecting social crises.  Building on their decade of community organizing experience within the labour\, racial\, social and climate justice movements\, the two tiohtià:ke/mooniyang (Montréal) based artists attempt to shine light on forms of labour that are too often hidden and devalued. \nLive on stage\, Tricia will create original visual artwork in several mediums as Laura Doyle Péan recites some of their moving poetry  with themes of domestic and care labour\, activism\, unions\, and freedom. The conception of Tricia’s art pieces will be projected onto a  screen\, allowing the audience to witness her creation process live and close up. The projection of her work will serve to honour the  labour and care that goes into creating illustrations\, embroideries and linocuts\, hence putting emphasis on our understanding of art as  labour\, as well as pridefully using mediums that have such a rich history within liberation and activist movements. Unapologetically feminist and pro-worker\, Tricia and Laura\, with care and devotion\, are using this performance as a way to open conversations about  the labour movement and unionism as a whole\, and the importance of recognizing forms of labour that have historically been  undervalued\, criminalized\, and disregarded.

SUMMARY:Portrait of the Artist as an Essential Worker
DESCRIPTION:Work by Sarah Mosher and Hannah Genosko\nIn collaboration\, Mosher and Genosko use printmaking and textile processes to illustrate their experiences as essential workers during the COVID-19 pandemic. They are both professional artists who were employed in ‘casual’ day jobs in sectors that were labeled essential and became full-time during the COVID-19 pandemic: the Nova Scotia Liquor Corporation and Canada Post\, respectively. With their similar experiences they dig deeper into the ‘essential’ label where art and work don’t often intersect. They explore the repetitive nature of labour through the repetitive nature of printmaking\, and create images relevant to their experience; the images are printed on the uniforms they and their coworkers wore during their time of essential sector work. Folk quilting traditionally uses old clothes and other found materials for utility\, and the shape of the garments inform the geometry of the quilt. The uniforms are sewn into quilted banners that do not follow a traditional repeating pattern or conform to a rectangle\, but rather use patchwork and appliqué techniques to create an uncertain feeling. This method reflects the ever-changing and disjointed nature of the pandemic. \nSarah’s instagram is @realpzzazz \nTwo large quilts on display at the Bus Stop Theatre\, April 1st to June 30th

SUMMARY:Resting Space
DESCRIPTION:A Workshop by Becoming Old Growth\nWhat is your relationship with rest? Our personal experiences with burnout led us to global rest movements and the anti-capitalist rest manifesto of “Nap Bishop” Tricia Hersey. What changes when we recognize exhaustion as a collective issue rather than a personal one? In this three-hour workshop\, we invite participants into a guided\, communal resting space. Through gentle\, unstructured  opportunities to listen\, write\, draw\, move\, and make sound—or simply rest—the artists will guide participants to reflect on these  questions\, emphasizing the role of rest as a natural and necessary balance to labour. \nParticipants will be invited to share their ideas and experiences with the artists following the workshop session. Cushions and blankets will be available and you are welcome to bring your own comfort items to use during the workshop. \nRegistration Details\nPlease register in advance via this registration form: \n>>REGISTER HERE \nAge:\nWorkshop geared for adults and mature youth. No arts experience required. \nAccessibility:\nPlease indicate accessibility needs in the registration form by Monday\, April 29th. \nNote:\nWe will try to accommodate accessibility requests\, however we cannot guarantee as all requests can be met.
