In this climate of protest, the students of the École des beaux-arts seized control of ...
The Space
Duration: 30 minutes
Subscription access
With the help of a sketch, a little girl illustrates how space and games are divided up during recess at school, especially between boys and girls, and explains how this is a daily problem for her. Despite her various attempts to change things, she cannot find a solution—especially since the issue remains invisible to others, children and adults alike, who don’t seem to be concerned. What emerg...
Who Cares?
Duration: 3h18
Subscription access
Medical students in their early twenties and experienced care workers take part in medical simulations. Faced with comedians portraying patients, they learn to speak the right words, reflect on their reactions, and build a caring practice. But in an increasingly liberal hospital system, which itself exerts violence on medical staff, is this relational ideal really possible?

Metal and Melancholy
Subscription access
An endless ride from one taxi to another in 1990s Lima. So many people, so few ways to make a living in the country in crisis; each person tries their luck with a car on the verge of collapse. Life itself is there—condensed and somehow enchanted.

Within the troupe, the wave of departures that began around _As-tu vu? Les maisons s’emportent!_ continues, and paths diverge. Activism is a never-ending task: sometimes, it’s exhausting. In 2006, thirty years after the March 8, 1976 speech that closes the first episode of _Nous sortirons de nos cuisines_, Québécois women won their battle for free access to abortion: from then on, voluntary ter...

The premiere of _As-tu vu? Les maisons s’emportent!_ takes place 10 days before the first referendum on Quebec sovereignty. A wave of conservatism is sweeping the West: privatization policies benefit those who already have everything, and we witness the gradual dismantling of the state and the common good. Carole Fréchette suggests: “What if we made a play? But this time, we should make a play ...
