Quebec’s Carrefour International de Théâtre
From May 14 to May 31, Québec will host the 2008 edition if the Carrefour International de theatre, an extraordinary gathering of actors, directors and critics celebrating the universal art of the theatre. It is unique occasion to discover contemporary artistic productions from other countries. In deed, foreign productions make up for more than half the program. It is also the opportunity to appreciate original productions from Quebec that are either revivals or works by emerging artists. According to the organizers, this year's program will be festive, in line with the celebrations of the city's 400th
anniversary. It will offer incursions in other fields like dance, circus, music and multimedia. This year, one of the ten major productions will take place on Avenue Cartier, where many young adults hang out and enjoy the many sidewalk cafés. Another promising performance will be that of Secret, a performance that literally walks the taut tightrope of circus art. It's a solo performance by Johann le Guillerm, from France. Also scheduled is Dave St.-Pierre most provocative production in which twenty dancers, fully naked, create living tableaux while a Mistress of Ceremony talks about love customs of our times.
Also as part of this Festival, forty young French Canadian artists will present readings of their works in progress and creative workshops open to all.
