Two great festivals are better than one, so why can’t we all just get along?

Sitting through the short docs presented at Infringement’s Night of Cultural Resistance, I couldn’t help but think that, despite all the history and persistent bad blood between the two organizations, the festival’s artistic links with the Montreal Fringe are tenuous at best.

Another beautiful day at the Fringe. The sun was shining, the beer was flowing, and there was no shortage of weirdos about. And I think I found some of the weirdest weirdos out there. Good thing that’s exactly what I was looking for.

The best play yet, Jesus Jello: The Miraculous Confection, is written by a witty and talented playwright and directed with great imagination and humour.
