Imagining Montreal

Montreal Books, Bain St-Michel

by Marianne Ackerman
18.11.2010

Asked to name the iconic taste of anglo Montreal, most people tend to fall back on high-carb cliché’s like smoked meat and bagels. But look further, into the city as served up by 21th century fiction and you’ll find quite another range of images.

Henry V, Persephone Theatre

by Anna Fuerstenberg
06.11.2010

Henry V, produced by Persephone Theatre, is not just the best work I have seen this company mount, but it is also the best of the bard I have seen in Montreal in decades. The thrust stage was beautifully configured and the clever blocking was lively and interesting. The vast number of young men on [...]

Image+Nation, Concordia Hall Theatre

by James Gartler

Jon Pylypchuk, Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal

by Megan Stewart
29.10.2010

It starts with a secret meeting of birds, who do not greet you as you enter the gallery so much as stare you down, watching from beady eyes pressed crudely into their white clay bodies. They huddle surreptitiously in a corner, atop skinny plinths of varying heights. You wonder if you are interrupting something, if [...]

Montreal Comic Convention, Place Bonaventure

by James Gartler
08.09.2010

“It was a Superman comic and it featured the alien of the month,” Alex La Prova recalls fondly, of the first comic book he ever read. “Of course it was a hand-me-down from the older kid on the street . . . but I’ve been hooked ever since.” Now, as co-organizer of this weekend’s Montreal [...]
