OTL's Sinking Neptune premiers at first Anarchis Theatre Festival



SINKING NEPTUNE
facilitated by
Optative Theatrical Laboratories
launches @ first-ever Montréal Anarchist Theatre Festival
May 8, 7:30pm, La Sala Rossa, 4848 St-Laurent


SINKING NEPTUNE will premier at the first-ever, Montréal Anarchist Theatre Festival, Monday, May 8, at the Sala Rossa, 4848 boul St-Laurent, 7:30pm. Tickets are $5/$10 and include 5 activist plays!

SINKING NEPTUNE is a theatrical subversion of the "first play" ever written and produced in the so-called "New World": Marc Lescarcot's The Theatre of Neptune in New France. Written in 1606, and scheduled for re-enactment on November 14th, 2006, this play is extremely racist against First Nations Peoples. This project is a call to action to challenge the play and re-enactment by deconstructing and re-performing The Theatre of Neptune in New France from a critical and postcolonial perspective. A short version is being presented.

The Montréal Anarchist Theatre Festival - a North American first - runs May 8 -9, 2006, at the Sala Rossa, 4848 boul St-Laurent, 7:30pm, and May 24-25, 7:30pm, at UQAM ( J-M400, Foyer studio théâtre Alfred-Laliberté, Judith-Jasmin 405, rue Sainte-Catherine Est).

The bilingual festival will feature ten plays from Canada and the USA involving about 50 actors, including the internationally renowned Bread and Puppet Theatre from Vermont. (See Schedule below)

The four nights of readings and productions range in length, theme, and style, but all are either written by anarchist writers, or with anarchist content. Each will present either anti-State, anti-capitalist, anti-sexist, anti-Empire, or anti-authoritarian positions.

The theatre festival is part of Montreal's annual 'Festival of Anarchy' that leads up to the city's 7th annual Anarchist Bookfair, May 20 and 21, 2006 - the largest anarchist event on the continent.
