COMING OUT OF THE CLOSET FESTIVAL present HESHE - a new play by Carlo Alacchi
La Balustrade/Monument National, 1185 St. Laurent, at 8:30PM
It is 1983. Joe a middle-aged lesbian meets Iva, a 20-something male transvestite who wants to become a trangender. What beholds this inverted couple is normality, frolic and madness.
As times change, so do our roles as men and women. HESHE is a play that explores the stereotypical role models of both genders while emphasizing the loving, caring nature of human beings which transgresses all differences.
As part of the COMING OUT OF THE CLOSET FESTIVAL, HESHE is to be playwright and director Carlo Alacchi’s first English-language production

Forest and Lake: Losing Eden, exhibition of paintings by Susan Lee and sculptures and paintings by Sheila Watson
441, rue de la Cour, Waterloo, Qc J0E 2N0
Lee and Watson's work have several things in common. The primary similarity lies in their approaches. They are both inspired by the nature near to them; forest for Sheila, lake for Susan. Environmental issues concern them deeply and reaching people with these concerns, while creating aesthetically pleasing work, is important to both.
Through their current creations Lee and Watson convey a sense of loss for the flora and fauna of their surroundings, while expressing their concerns for the fate of the environment, and their love and admiration of nature.
Official opening: May 10 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m
