Le texte révèle en quoi Shigematsu recourt à l’intermédialité comme stratégie pour sonder la distance interpersonnelle et émotionnelle qui les sépare. Grâce à une analyse détaillée de la production faisant appel aux théories de l’intermédialité et de l’affect interculturel, Lynch explore la façon dont Empire of the Son fait usage de médias pour créer des correspondances entre l’immédiateté technologique et la proximité interpersonnelle et interculturelle. L’autrice expose comment Shigematsu forge de telles comparaisons en vue de scruter et de déconstruire des notions telle la proximité et la distance, de sorte à souligner leur fonctionnement complexe au sein des relations interpersonnelles et interculturelles, surtout sur le plan affectif. Enfin, l’autrice explore ce que la relation entre l’interprète et le public ajoute à cette démarche, puisque la pièce met en scène des rapports interculturels et interpersonnels qui incitent le public à revoir ses présupposés et ses conceptions de la différence. Ce faisant, le public est appelé à déconstruire la binarité qui sépare le soi et l’autre, sur laquelle repose trop souvent la notion d’interculturalisme.","PeriodicalId":53669,"journal":{"name":"Theatre Research in Canada-Recherches Theatrales au Canada","volume":"158 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85347888","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Le texte présente d’abord l’histoire du festival et un aperçu des conditions matérielles de son fonctionnement, y compris le financement, les questions relatives à la traduction, la politique internationale, l’espace, les pratiques professionnelles et les différences culturelles. Ensuite, l’étude s’attarde à l’édition 2019 du festival, où diverses tensions et contraintes ont atteint leur paroxysme, entraînant la démission de la direction artistique et de la présidence du conseil d’administration. L’article prône un modèle d’administration et d’organisation de festival plus flexible, davantage axé sur la communauté et géré par les artistes. Plutôt que de se contenter du modèle qui prévaut au Canada, ce modèle doit permettre les rencontres et les échanges par-delà les différences culturelles. Enfin, l’article insiste sur la nécessité de trouver de nouvelles façons de concevoir des festivals tels qu’IMPACT pour agir comme des médiateurs interculturels, des lieux de négociation et de renégociation de valeurs culturelles, où les artistes et d’autres personnes peuvent se réunir et générer un dialogue vivant et performatif au-delà des différences, qui demeurent néanmoins réelles et respectées.","PeriodicalId":53669,"journal":{"name":"Theatre Research in Canada-Recherches Theatrales au Canada","volume":"103 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79033562","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Howard, Édouard Laniel-Tremblay","doi":"10.3138/tric.43.2.a04","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.3138/tric.43.2.a04","url":null,"abstract":"SLĀV is a musical stage play directed by Robert Lepage, and based on recordings by singer Béatrice “Betty” Bonifassi. The recordings are Bonifassi’s reinterpretations of music composed by enslaved and incarcerated African Americans—that is Black people labouring under, and resisting, the conditions of slavery and its afterlife. Though Lepage and Bonifassi promoted the show as an homage to Black people, SLĀV opened at the 2018 Montreal International Jazz Festival to protests by the SLĀV Resistance Collective, accusing it of cultural appropriation. SLĀV was eventually cancelled as Black artists began pulling out of the festival. Unsurprisingly, Lepage, Bonifassi and much of the Quebec public accused the protestors of censorship, and of misunderstanding Quebec’s unique context. Situating its analysis within the field of Black Canadian Studies, in this article Howard examines the discourse around SLĀV as manifested through the words of Bonifassi, Lepage, journalists, and commenters. Howard argues that SLĀV instantiates the broader context of antiblackness in Quebec, and pays particular attention to gestures of inclusion and proximity consistent with modes of slavery and its afterlife in New France/Quebec. These gestures attempt to contain Blackness within national, linguistic, and other boundaries, disciplining the ways it is allowed to assert itself. Black resistance must therefore defy these boundaries and claim solidarity between and across variously located Black people.","PeriodicalId":53669,"journal":{"name":"Theatre Research in Canada-Recherches Theatrales au Canada","volume":"142 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85268875","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Working in two languages in a province that is primarily Anglophone, Michaud’s work is situated at the intersection of two minority groups in Saskatchewan: the gay community and the Francophone community. Michaud’s bilingual career in Saskatchewan coincided with the emergence of AIDs theatre, which redefined dominant ideologies regarding homosexuality. With compassion and care, Michaud created characters who gave a human face to the AIDs tragedy and called into question the anglophone and heteronormative hegemony in Saskatchewan. By examining Michaud’s writing and conducting a research interview with him, the current study offers a biographical portrait of this theatre artist followed by an in-depth exploration of the topics found in his work: AIDs and its associated grief, homosexuality, and alienated youth.","PeriodicalId":53669,"journal":{"name":"Theatre Research in Canada-Recherches Theatrales au Canada","volume":"122 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87668932","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
