Black & Rural is an artistic inquiry into the hearts and minds of Black folks tucked away on Canada’s countryside. Project lead, Shayna Jones, aims to seek out, honour, and showcase stories from rurally based Blacks (like herself) to nuance and challenge the monolith of what matters to Black Lives. Created and performed by Shayna Jones and produced by Pi Theatre, Black & Rural weaves spoken word, movement, music, and verbatim theatre together in a spellbinding performance that is resonating across the country. www.blackandrural.com

Black & Rural

Tarragon Theatre

Vernon Subutex 1, presented October 3 and 4 at Le Diamant, reveals a contemporary society of isolated, vulnerable humans and the vultures that have their eyes on them. It’s a society lacking nothing and everything and that no longer seems to have the choice between its destruction and its redemption. Parts 2 and 3 describe—with the same corrosive rancour—the development of a community around the central character, Vernon Subutex, who has become itinerant. Published in 2017, the last part was profoundly influenced by the 2015 Charlie Hebdo and Bataclan attacks in France. Literally explosive and post-apocalyptic, the novel ends in the near future of 2186. By then, the “Subutex” movement has become a sect that seeks, through transcendental music inspired by Alex Bleach, a communion between beings that goes beyond differences and identity-based issues.
