Of the four contemporary creations offered for free to the public during the Montreal Festival TransAmeriques, the favorite of the Auberge de La Fontaine is undoubtedly "The door of no return", a photos exhibition referring to monuments on the west coast of Africa erected in memory of the millions of slaves deported from Africa to America.
An international event celebrating new works in contemporary dance and theatre, the Festival TransAmériques combines disciplines and artistic trends under cohesive programming. The Festival presents exciting forms of the art of our era, featuring works by choreographers, writers and directors. . It will present 31 performances and events from May 26 to June 11, 2011. It is the selection of the most impressive contemporary works in its history.
Centaur Theatre Company has announced seven new performances to the soon-to-be legendary Schwartz's: The Musical. The show will be presented every day from Wednesday July 20 to Sunday August 7, 2011 at 8PM (except Monday July 25 and Monday August 1). Matinees will be held on Saturdays (July 23, 30 and August 6) at 2PM and on Sunday July 24, 2011 at 2PM.
Inspired by Bill Brownstein’s popular book, “Schwartz's Hebrew Delicatessen: The Story”, comedy duo extraordinaire Bowser & Blue bring the colourful story to life on stage with a full cast of larger-than-life characters who call Schwartz's "home," and some of the many customers who pass through its doors. Schwartz's: The Musical celebrates the eccentric side of Schwartz’s and what makes us Montrealers with lots of humour, wit and heart, while grappling with such issues as the smoked meat and pastrami debate, the food police, the measure of success in tumultuous times and the dreaded F-word: franchise!
If you’re not a fan of musicals or smoked meat, by no means should you go see Schwartz’s The Musical at the Centaur Theatre. If you do, however, like one or the other, or preferably both, then you’ll likely have a great time at the theatre.
