The Maisons de la culture:
Where your culture lives
the maisons de la culture
The borough’s two Maisons de la culture offer a wide selection of shows and exhibits, numerous mediated cultural activities
providing a broad access to arts and culture, as well as various artistic production residencies in support of local creative talent.
All these actions are made possible thanks to, amongst other things, the financial support of the Conseil des arts de Montréal en
tournée and the Entente sur le développement culturel de Montréal between the Ministère de la Culture, des Communications et
de la Condition féminine du Québec and the Ville de Montréal.
Admission Policy
Our activities are free. However, you must obtain a pass in order to attend a show. You can do so by dropping by the Maison de
la culture presenting the activity two weeks prior to the event. There is a limit of two passes per person for evening shows and
four passes per person for family shows. You can also reserve your tickets online at accesculture.com (service charges of $ 2
per tickets apply).

Gros Paul, Moulin à Musique
While musicians lead children in song to lively gypsy music, Monsieur Grincheux, who dislikes music, steals the key of harmony.

turns. With Mélanie Bergeron, accordion, Pierre-Olivier Dufresne, violin, Mathieu Deschenaux, double bass, Ivan Bamford,
percussions, and Ariane Labonté, puppets and story.
Petit Paul will become big, enormous, gargantuan, because he devours everything in his path: computer, house… even to the
point of swallowing his own parents. The little ogre, desperately lonely, calls upon the media to witness his condition, to use its
power to demand ever more, more, more, and right now….! Pierre-Étienne Rouillard, storyteller-singer, Flavie Gagnon, violin,

Photography
Azca, Martin Girard
While crossing the ochre expanse of the desert along the
blacktop stretches of Arizona and California highways, where
the only oases are run-down motels and gas stations, Martin
Girard chose to bypass hard-edged photography in favour of
dream-like, atmospheric imagery. Those who gaze upon his
encounters with these ancient, mythical vistas will share in
his sense of grace and beauty.

Photography
Les guerriers de l’intérieur,
Serge Gosselin and Renée Robitaille
This project originated from a meeting between photographer
Serge Gosselin and storyteller Renée Robitaille, and was
inspired by a common passion: give light and a voice back
to miners. The photographer’s images paint a portrait of this
brotherhood of men who, with courage, determination and
strength, painstakingly extract the earth’s buried treasures.
After visiting the Abitibi mines, and guided by the clashing
contrasts of Gosselin’s pictures, Renée Robitaille offers us,
with brio and finesse, short stories that honour these men.
Opening on Saturday, February 25 at 2 p.m.

and ancestral worlds. Eman Haram, curator, installation,
Anjuna Langevin, performance, Roberto Godoy, mixed

Collectionner © Alexander Henderson
Collect… What? Why? Some collect stamps, coins, vinyl
records, hockey cards, others worship art. Nine collectors
share their personal collections through the Accès culture
network. Sébastien Hudon, art historian, critic and artistic
director of la Bande Vidéo at the Méduse complex in Québec
City, shares his passion with us. His collection stems from
a great curiosity, a passion fuelled by a research on the
evolution of ideas that stand the test of time through history
and various art forms from different civilizations.
Opening on Thursday, April 12 at 5 p.m.
From April 19 to May 27
Painting
Tempo, Poli Wilhem
Objects fill our daily life, images are undone, weathered.
This is where color, texture and movement overpower objects
toward an abstract language, providing spectators with the
opportunity to construct or invent their own stories. Form
undergoes transformation and lends itself to color in support
of the painting’s structure, allowing us to witness a reality
that rises beyond the object’s nature. - Poli Wilhem, artistic
painter.

La fibre et le mouvement,
Diagonale
Suspension, which relies on thread, fibre, and loom, entails a
history rich in constraints. On the other hand, it provides a series
of plastic alternatives in the form of canvas, networks, or
soft architecture. Under the curatorship of François Chalifour,
artists Hannah Claus, Caroline Cloutier, Hélène Lefebvre,
François Mathieu and Ed Pien encourage us to set aside
our Cartesian view of the world as we follow them into a
non-rational, implicate, and deep-structured realm.

Happy Incest
Binnilli White tells us that he will have ten children that he will never know. He donated sperm 31 times. Through the 31 musings
collected in his Livre de la Sagesse, he conveys his thoughts on psychology, pornography, fragility, the media, love, happiness,
and death. In the course of this solo theatrical performance, he will try to teach his faraway children to reject the current state of
Happy Incest. A creation by Jonathan Morier. Coup de coeur award recipient at the Festival Fringe 2011.

Voyage en Italie
Let yourself be charmed by pianist Mathieu Fortin in this romantic recital consisting of pieces by Beethoven and Liszt. You will
hear Listz’s Deuxième année de Pèlerinage (Italy), a poetic collection inspired by non-musical art forms (Raphaël, Michael-Angelo,
Petrarch, and Dante). In tune with Italy, the vibrant Sonate op. 27 no. 1 by Beethoven is the lesser known older sibling of the
acclaimed Sonate à la Lune.

Grace, Milly, Lucy… des fillettes soldates, L’ONF à la maison
Over the past 20 years, rebel troops in Uganda have abducted over 30,000 children and forced them to serve in the armed rebellion;
among them, many were girls. Upon returning to their village, Milly and Lucy founded an organization for veteran female soldiers,
while Grace joined institutions such as the UN. Through sheer determination, these models of resilience have successfully escaped
the horrors of Uganda. A troubling film by Raymonde Provencher that uncovers this little-known reality. French subtitles (2010 |
73 min). Presented during Black History Month.
Dance • Friday, February 17 at 8 p.m.
RAW-me
A solo-in-solitude from a performer on a quest for meaning, RAW-me deliberately flirts with self-as-fiction and finds its roots in a
primal need for creative integrity, in terms both artistic and human. The performance draws us into a spiritual journey where inner
landscapes are exposed and collide, and where a trek across the desert sometimes seems like a storm. Manuel Roque is trained
in theatre, circus, and dance, and is both a performer and a choreographer.
This concert takes you on a musical journey through the ages, from Haydn to Sokolovic, and consists of six pieces or partial
movements providing contrasting yet fascinating melodies. Alain Giguère, violin, Julie Trudeau and Guy Pelletier, flute, Lori
Freedman, clarinet, Brigitte Poulin, piano and Julien Grégoire, percussion. Presented in collaboration with the Conseil des arts
de Montréal en tournée.

Chloé Sainte-Marie sings of our homeland through the language of our native poets, Joséphine Bacon and Philippe McKenzie,
and the rich and earthy words of Gilles Carle, Roland Giguère, Patrice Desbiens and Gaston Miron. Accompanied by musician
Réjean Bouchard, she sings of the difficult encounters between nations and expresses the deep strength and delicate balance
of the land, especially of the Great North, unfortunately now considered a mere “Plan,” a source of revenue. This show follows
the opening of the exhibition Les nations autochtones; douceur, grâce et vigueur by Guy Labissonière (see description p. 20).
Theatre • Thursday, February 23 at 8 p.m.
Le nid, Théâtre Qui Va Là
Following a fire, a couple of bird-watchers uncover the traces of their past, hidden in the rubble of their nest. This quest will
unearth memories of the cries of nestlings, the chirping of long-gone birds, the overwhelming presence of birds of prey, and
an egg about to hatch. This tragicomic fable is the account of a love lost reborn from its ashes. Text and performances by Félix
Beaulieu-Duscheneau and Sandrine Cloutier. Presented by Les Entrées en scène Loto-Québec.

Tête de violon, Jeunesses musicales du Canada
She has one head, two arms, two legs and… a violin. She shoulders her wooden soul. Her very soul inhabits the sound post on
her shoulder. Tête de violon resonates on all chords, sometimes in sunshine, sometimes in shadow, occasionally shivering, but
always playful. A performance combining motion, music and fantasy. An interlude featuring strange harmonies, soundscapes, and
narrative music. Marie-Hélène da Silva, idea player and performer and Joël da Silva, author and stage director.

Annabelle suit sa voix, Jeunesses musicales du Canada
We find Annabelle Canto at the peak of her art when a renowned impresario offers to send her on a world tour. However, before
having her sign the contract, he requests that Annabelle attend an audition. Nervous, Annabelle misunderstands, believing instead
that she must demonstrate how quickly she can pack her bags, breeze through customs, and sign fifty autographs in ten minutes!
Christina Tannous, soprano and Dominic Boulianne, piano.
Music • Tuesday, March 13 at 8 p.m.
Volutes
In a style unlike any other, the multi-talented violinist Mireille Proulx transposes her solid classical training into the world of jazz
which she plays with elegance and impeccable taste. Her compositions deliver music that is sensual and audacious, meditative
and passionate. Over the course of the evening, she will showcase her new album, Volutes, as well as pieces from her previous
albums acclaimed by both the public and critics alike. Accompanied by John Sadowy at the piano.
This four-hand piano concert with Jacques Drouin and Lorraine Vaillancourt creates an unusual encounter between the
universe of Hungarian composer György Kurtág and Québec composer Simon Bertrand, both of whom share the same meditative
approach. The concert is enhanced with an on-screen projection listing the titles of Kurtág’s miniatures. During Bertrand’s performance,
the projection consists of startling paintings by Hieronymus Bosch centered on the Marseille Tarot’s 22 Major Arcanas, a source
of inspiration to Bertrand’s work.

Déraison d’amour offers an irresistible portrait of an exceptional woman. […] A magnificent, ceremonial performance, dense and
beautifully played by Marie Tifo.” —Le Soleil. Based on the documentary Folle de Dieu, directed by Lorraine Pintal.

MAY
Theatre • Thursday, May 3 at 8 p.m.
Menteur, Mea Culpa Théâtre
This play, a thriller by Brian Drader, draws us into the heart of a drama, into a land of loss, muteness, and deception. The liar is
the enigmatic Marc who erupts into a couple’s life and wreaks havoc. Also liars are Ben and Françoise, the couple whose daily
routine is disrupted by the stranger’s arrival. Another liar is Jérémie, who wishes he could forget. With Émile Beaudry, Amélie
Carrier, Emmanuel Reichenbach and Frédéric Millaire-Zouvi.
Through conceptual music inspired by the book Makura no sōshi by Dame Sei Shōnagon (Japan, circa 1000), the show delivers
an authentic interplay between music and poetry. Infused with Japanese sensibilities, these original pieces meld writing and
improvisation into acoustic, electric, and electronic approaches that are interlaced, superimposed, and interpenetrated, thus
creating a three-dimensional show.
Young audiences • Sunday, May 6 at 3 p.m. • Marionette theatre (as of 3 years old)
Paul Flou, Théâtre sous la main
Paul Flou is as near-sighted as a mole, just like the rest of his family, the Flous! His vision of the world is a quirky one… In trying

with recycled and transformed objects, appeals to the senses and highlights inventiveness. Karine St-Arnaud and Stéphanie
Blais, puppeteers.

Par la force des choses,
Gabrielle Laforest
Inspired by the written word, this artist’s paintings are a

mankind’s first interpretations of the starry skies, she uses
deep indigo hues as a background for the projection of images
that acquire an abstract character closer to symbols.

several infinities, Jeanie Riddle
Jeanie Riddle is a builder of surfaces. Her paintings are
organized organically out of everyday life. One element or
change of color, scale, size, or finesse makes a complete
difference to the whole. This is about having creative energies
and moments of exalted sensation, a fixation on economy
and exhausting potential in simple forms. In partnership
with the Parisian Laundry.

leagues away from the tourist circuit.

hope to convince you to become a collector yourself and
embark on an ambitious journey. A selection of art from

latter’s career as a curator. In association with Arsenal and
the PAPIER12 contemporary art fair.
