Habibi's Angels: Commission Impossible

Profound, poetic, and deliciously quirky--The play is a living x-ray of Montreal that lays bare its foundations, ancient and modern. But can the invisible be made visible? A meta-experiment on the collectivity with contrasting feminist visions. Montreal is seen through the eyes of: a blocked writer fighting procrastination with coffee, cigarettes as her talkative neighbor gets in the way; Habibi's Angels scheming while holding a tea ritual; and the ministrations of a playful water spirit. Does integration mean old-world hospitality or new-world isolationism while everyone is plying their lives on First Nations territories? Difference is contrasted with indifference, and criticism takes on a meta-level as the writers challenge the hazy image of the producer's motivation. All of this in a city that can't even align its streets with the four points of a compass! Audience be warned: you're invited to a scratchy celebration of Montreal.
