The Tree of Life, published by Pulse Editions
- Published 2008-11-05 19:49 - (2260 Reads)This book is intended for those who, in these difficult times, question the very meaning of existence and the troubling events of our era, without reaching a satisfactory conclusion. September 11, 2001 was the opening salvo of a series of events, destined to usher in a global system that will provide solutions to the myriad problems affecting mankind. After providing a fleeting respite, however, it will go on to inflict horrendous evil.
In the aftermath of a catastrophe, it is beneficial for a nation’s people to recite the twenty-third Psalm; yet it is far preferable that they should live in such fashion that these catastrophes do not occur. God did not refrain from saving a handful of souls during the destruction of Sodom. However, His Son has said that, unless we change our hearts, we will perish like the people of the Galilee (Luc 13, verses 1 to 5).

http://www.geordie.ca/shows-littleprince.html
The little things get the big treatment in Geordie's stage adaptation of a well-loved and timeless classic. Away from the house-sized asteroid which he calls home, the Little Prince recounts the stories of characters he met on planets all over the universe in Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's tale of the follies of mankind and the simple truths that people seem to forget as they grow older. "It is only with the heart that one can see clearly; what is essential is invisible to the eye" - The Fox, in The Little Prince
Take the NANOWRIMO challenge! National Novel Writing Month!
- Published 2008-10-29 09:02 - (2083 Reads)Nanowrimo is NAtional NOvel WRIting MOnth, the challenge to write a first draft of a 50,000 word novel in the month of November. It's possible to do even if you have a full-time job, but it is not easy. There's an informal group of Montreal-area nanowrimo-ers getting together once a week during October and November to talk problems out, assist and encourage one another, commiserate, and have fun. Currently we are meeting on Wednesday evenings at about 7PM in the Second Cup in Central Station.
hendrik at topoi.pooq.com
For information about local events, follow the links from that site to forums, then to regional lounges, and finally to Canada, Quebec, Montreal. Or just show up at one of our weekly meets. Some participants like to plan their novels in advance. Others find it works better to have no preconceptions at all about what their novels are to be and start cold on November 1. There are no fees, no age limits, and no formal requirements to participate. You just need the willingness to try.

Love, that little, four-letter word, mysterious and elusive, evoking a myriad of complex and confusing emotions, with as many definitions as there are people. We want it, crave it, seek it yet also shun it, hide from it or run as far from it as possible. With a season focussing on three themes, Love, Hope and Faith, Infinitheatre’s production of John & Béatrice will be taking a look at love from an unusual vantage: a vacant room on the 33rd floor of a city skyscraper!

In a word – BRAVE! – this is one persistent adjective that comes to mind when reflecting on Tableau d’Hôte’s current stage production, terminating this weekend at Mainline Theatre on ‘the Main.’ Lion in the Streets, by Canadian playwright, Judith Thompson, is a raw, gritty, spiraling downward journey. It begins with the recollection of a 17-year-old ‘crime’ and ends, full circle, with some weird act of ‘forgiveness’, perhaps also of atonement. The dramatic narrative digs deep into secret-dread history; on route, it excavates the darkest places of the soul...

Shola Doummar, Montreal artist and performer
- Published 2008-10-18 13:21 - (2707 Reads)Shola Doummar's CD: LIBERTÀ is a great favourite: Spiritual, melodic, meditative and soothing. I was lucky enough to get my copy the day Shola performed at the ICN Conference, held at FACE, in 2005. LIBERTÀ has become a permanent fixture in my computer disk drive, a guaranteed tonic against - you guessed it - stress.

As overheard in various salons and bedrooms... Valmont: “I want the excitement of watching her betray everything that’s most important to her. I thought betrayal was your favourite word.” Merteuil: “No, no, cruelty. I always think that has a nobler ring to it.”
The Leanor and Alvin Segal Theatre kicks off a sizzling season of passion and seduction with Dangerous Liaisons, Christopher Hampton’s adaptation of Pierre Choderlos de Laclos’ 1782 French novel about lust, greed, deception and romance. Don’t miss what promises to be an exciting production, led by award-winning director, Alexandre Marine and featuring a handpicked, mostly Montreal cast of 16...From Left: Catherine de Sève (as La Marquise de Merteuil) and Brett Christopher (as Le Vicomte de Valmont) sizzle in Dangerous Liaisons. The photographer is Randy Cole.
The battle of the sexes; love and war: such age-old clichés take on a rapier-sharp glitter in Segal Centre’s debut theatre piece of the season: Dangerous Liaisons. It’s a dramatization of a novel by ex-soldier, Pierre Choderlos de Laclos, first published seven years before the French revolution...

Oooo!
by Gerard Vàzqueztranslated by Elisabet Ràfols and Michael Bantjes
Oooo! is a touching and powerful comedy about the lives of a group of clowns in Nazi Germany. Charlie Rivel, the most tender of clowns, is forced to perform for Hitler, the most barbaric of dictators. Can art be guiltless? Does it have to submit to power? Can an artist remain apolitical in the midst of political chaos?...
NINE DAYS ONLY
SEPTEMBER 13 – 21, 2008
This dramatization is inspired by, and at least partially based on, historic fact. A troupe of clowns performing in Nazi Germany are graciously invited (read politely coerced) into entertaining the 'great' Führer, Adolf Hitler himself. The tight, focused dialogue sets the scene and immediately localizes the action in Berlin during the declining years of World War II...
