Montreal Cultural Calendar

This performance will be presented on June 2nd (7pm), June 6th (4pm), and June 7th (3pm), all at Rockette Bar. In JUDITH, Sarah Chouinard-Poirier mobilizes, embodies, and gives voice to the figure of the living dead — this body that has been dehumanized and rendered monstrous — to expose the fear of the Other and denounce the narratives that govern the war on drugs. Drawing on references to popular culture and their own experience as an intervention and community worker, the artist delivers a multifaceted performance where zombies, cinema, humor, and theoretical underpinnings intersect in an embodied reflection on the hygienist, racist, and classist biopowers that govern substances and bodies.

Join us on Sunday, June 7th for another SAWA fundraiser for Lebanon at Espace Transmission, who graciously offered their space in support of the cause. You can expect music, bites, drinks, and a brand new market featuring many new exclusives, curated with so much care alongside artisans and partners we're incredibly grateful to work with. All proceeds will go toward urgent support initiatives in Lebanon helping on the ground. In line with our mission, a small portion will also support Palestinian initiatives and Indigenous communities. Tickets are a minimum $22 donation. Additional contributions are encouraged. https://www.instagram.com/p/DYKtmw_DuJu/
