The events below are happening in the GCTC space, but are not produced or presented by us.
Past and present intermingle as two daughters struggle to reconcile their visions of the past, and the parents, Marie-Lou and Léopold, enact the events preceding their fatal car crash.
To close out International Women’s Month, GCTC and Origin Arts present Haviah Mighty, streaming live from Ottawa.
Haviah won the Polaris Prize for her 2019 album 13th Floor, making her the first hip-hop artist and the first Black woman to do so. She is widely regarded as one of the most influential artists in Canadian music.
In an imaginary letter to an absent older brother, Braidie struggles to understand the torture and killing of a teenage girl by a group of her school-mates. MacLeod’s young protagonist enters all the bright open avenues of peer-group play and the dark blind alleys of individual and collective terror, as she discovers within herself both the capacity for and the conflict between impulses of good and evil.
