Weekly Fringe: Bask in the glory of live performances
Dance, theatre, and multidisciplinary shows are at your service this week!

Monday, March 7
La Chapelle Theatre is presenting a multidisciplinary performance titled Sam & Angèle. The show runs from March 7 to 11 and explores the concept of identity through an intimate look at pleasure, sacrality, self-love, and doubt.
Tuesday, March 8
Poet Erika Soucy is performing a poetic theatre performance at Theatre La Licorne until April 2. Through humour and intimate expressive emotion, Les murailles represents the longing for affirmation through an ode to those who must leave their families to go work overseas.

After pandemic related delays, the multidisciplinary performance 1, 2, maybe 3 is back!
