ARCHITECTURES DE LA JOIE ANAÏS BARBEAU-LAVALETTE et STEVE GAGNON

In a world where it is increasingly difficult to allow ourselves a sense of wonder, this correspondence between Anaïs Barbeau-Lavalette and Steve Gagnon explores a quest for joy. Joy that is chosen, considered and cultivated. Joy as a stance against injustice. Subversive joy, underpinning anger, loneliness and sadness. With equal measures of humour and tenderness, the two voices trace the fragile path of joy as permission, as disobedience and as a driving force for resistance. A brief introduction is planned before the performance, and an optional moderated discussion will follow.
