Beside

Public talks will be held before the show, guided by Line Grenier and Hilary Bergen on October 16 and 17, from 6 pm to 6:40 pm. How are speeches constructed today, and how does the body become their support, their vehicle? Live radio as a vocal score becomes here a pretext to question the role of the body in this political and social act of communicating opinions and information to the greatest number of people. Where do identity and understanding reside in the overabundance of information ? In BESIDE, the 3rd opus of the B+B+B trilogy, Marie Béland continues exploring the communicating body, but this time through the body of the Other. By borrowing the words and movements that fill our radios and televisions, the performers abandon their identity to assume those of speakers in the public arena. Read the program for BESIDE here
