CRIMINAL QUEERS BACKYARD FILM + PERFORMANCES

3942 rue Ste. Émilie, metro Place St. Henri (east of the metro, corner of St. Augustin)
7-11pm
Suggested donation: $5-$10, PWYC

Join us in our backyard for an evening of live musical performances and film-screening under the stars.  This is part of a summer-long series of events.

Performers: Sarah Bernard

Sarah Bernard is a young girl from Haiti who has momentarily settled in Montreal. She writes songs and book(s) in English, French, and Creole for piano, guitar, and voice. (Someday, Spanish and Italian– someday.) She’s a DJ who lives on and for dance-floors, but when Sarah sings, you can find soft traces of traditional Haitian folklore, little girl blues, traces of growing up on a piano and moving across the continent. They haven’t invented a name for her genre yet.

In Attendance: Mirha-Soleil Ross

Film: Yapping Out Loud by Mirha -Soleil Ross (2004)
A video documentary based on first-person Toronto performance show (7 monologues) dealing with prostitution and anti-prostitution. A tour de force by Canada’s most famous transsexual sexworker animal-rights activist performance artist, Yapping is hilarious and moving –half autobiographical, half agitprop satire, fully unforgettable.
