La Belle-mère // The Stepmother

Évènement de Heritage Lower Saint Lawrence / Heritage Bas-St-Laurent et Coopérative de solidarité Paradis

Heritage LSL is proud to present an abridged spoken word version of The Stepmother, followed by a Q&A. The Stepmother is an international play that offers a complete re-reading of the stepmother archetype, a subject of the collective Western imagination for centuries. The challenges, duties, responsibilities, stakes, and freedoms of the role are weighed and analyzed without complacency, in this dynamic suite of narrative poems.

With Amélie Prévost, a spoken word artist and author who toured Canada and France for several years, and Rachel McCrum a poet, performer, editor, author and curator. Both are recipients of awards related to poetry and performance.

‘The move towards honesty and openness about the tough realities of stepparenting is exactly what makes La Belle-mère // The Stepmother a celebration of this often demonized familial role…both on the page and the stage, this is a feminist project.’ Klara du Plessis, Montreal Review of Books

The show will be in English and it will last 45 minutes + a session of Q&A hosted by Heritage LSL’s Joana Projecto Garcia.
