Par un soir ordinaire, deux interprètes tentent à plusieurs reprises de dire au revoir à tous les citoyens qui ont quitté et qui quitteront la ville. Oscillant entre le théâtre d’Aujourd’hui et la rue St-Denis par le biais de la vidéo, ils invitent le public et les passants à une fête d’adieu créée spécifiquement pour Montréal.

 

 

 

 

The erosion of communities, and how people become nostalgic for the city that once was are two ideas that situate themselves in contradiction to a young generation who continue to try and "re-enchant" the city. By us sharing our personal experiences of home, our favorite places and sounds of the city we are trying to show it as new, show it as a possibility, show it as a place that could be a temporary utopia. As the structures from the Expo and the Olympics fall apart and decay along with the bridges and buildings we ask: what can be done now, by you, by me, by us.
