Montreal’s annual small press, comic and zine fair, brings together nearly 300 different creators of all kinds of printed matter in both English and French. In seven years, Expozine has become Canada's largest small press fair, attracting thousands of visitors and exhibitors from across the continent. At Expozine, you can discover a multitude of publications that can be hard to find in the first place, much less in the same room! Come peruse the work of emerging and established authors, publishers and artists, and see what the winners of last year’s Expozine Alternative Press Awards are up to.

HyeKyong Yun

Vernissage: Friday, November 14th, 2008, 5 to 8 pm

This exhibition is an objectification of HyeKyong’s self-portraiture onto other subjects. Its focus is on Asian males in their twenties; not yet men, but no longer boys. The loss of communication between the human being and the environment that surrounds him as he searches for his identity is exposed by the subject’s melancholy: a deep emptiness in his facial expression and gesture as he interacts with the world around him.

All levels are welcome from first time amateurs who want to try the basic drawing exercise to professional artists honing their skills.

For 15$, you get small group sizes, a professional and experienced model, and perfect lighting and temperature. Most importantly a comfortable and creative atmosphere is assured. Plenty of red and white wine, cheeses, nuts etc. will be served. So come ready to eat, converse, drink and draw!

Othello, Shakespeare’s great and gripping masterpiece about the fall of a noble moor, a military hero, caught in a terrible web of self destruction This famous and timeless tragedy tells the story of a vulnerable man at the mercy of the force of evil. Shakespeare has created his hero, and the characters that surround him, in a fast paced drama full of powerful and conflicting emotions; love & hate, jealousy and ambition, sexual desire and individual integrity.

November 13, 14, 15, 18, 19,20,22,26, 27, 28, 29, 2008 at 8:00pm

November 21 & 25 DARK

Shakespeare's timeless tragedy illustrates the devastating power of words to manipulate, persuade, and ultimately destroy. Othello, a noble moor, a military hero, is caught in a terrifying web of deceit in Shakespeare's gripping masterpiece. Brimming with disturbing and conflicting emotions: love and hate, jealousy and ambition, sexual desire and individual integrity, as the characters struggle against the forces that overpower them.  Playing at the McCord Museum in the Bombardier Theatre from November 13 to 29 at 8 PM, with weekday matinées at 1 PM and Sunday matinées at 2 PM.

The Left of Centre Theatre Company is very happy to present its second pantomime: Puss in Boots. Come see how the Big Bad Ogre terrifies the kingdom of King Eric, how the very clever Puss assists Harry, the poor miller's son, to trick the Ogre (by using special magic of course!) and how Puss helps Harry win the heart of the beautiful Princess. Puss in Boots, a pantomime, is for both the young and young at heart and again enjoys having lots of audience participation. Directed by Simone Nichol, starring Leanna Glance, Margaret Owen, Heather Huff, Anne-Marie Saheb and Michael Panich.

In this show, spectators can expect to witness juggling, acrobatics, roue Cyr, live music and clown, all seamlessly interwoven into a sublime narrative arc. A show for adults that children will thoroughly enjoy, both comic and poetic, the show invokes the precarious balance of familial relationships and loyalties through the circus disciplines it employs. It is a meditation on the power and vicissitudes of romantic and familial love, and an invitation to succumb to the collective imagination.

Playing Wednesday to Sunday at 8:30pm with Sunday matinees at 3:00pm. Last evening performance is Saturday Dec 6th.

Montreal choreographer Valerie Buddle premiers her latest creation, entitled The Uncertainty Project.

The Uncertainty Project explores the fact that global events surrounding our lives are founded on uncertainty. Liberty and security are principles discarded in the face of disaster and tragedy. The piece reflects upon the human response to profound uncertainty and the inherent vulnerability and resiliency of the human character.

Valerie Buddle is a graduate of Concordia University's contemporary dance program. She has presented her work at the fFIDA International Dance Festival, the Guelph Contemporary Dance Festival, the St. Ambroise Montreal Fringe Festival and Series 8:08.
