Marie est autrice. Son dernier roman a soulevé l'ire de ses modèles féministes et l'a laissée vidée, incapable d'écrire. Après…
plusieurs fausses couches, suivant des conseils obtenus par télémédecine, elle conserve ses fœtus au congélateur afin de les soumettre à des tests, pendant que Perceval, son chum, coécrit des poèmes avec l'algorithme qu'il a créé et que son amie Claire, ancienne comédienne, gravit les échelons de la vente de Tupperware. Par une sinistre nuit de novembre, alors que la pluie fouette les vitres et que retentissent les cris stridents d'une imprimante 3D, Marie accouche d'une idée funeste qui va tout faire basculer. S'inspirant librement de la vie de Mary Shelley et de son Frankenstein, Sarah Berthiaume sonde les abysses de la création et de la procréation dans une comédie gothique, féministe et dystopique qui dissèque nos propres monstruosités

Grocery-store clerk Beth has had a hell of a week. A hell of a life, actually, full of people squashing…
her soul. And after pushing back at life—stabbing a steak to her boss’s desk and lighting a magazine rack on fire, for instance—freshly unemployed Beth regroups at her mom’s suburban home. Just when Beth starts to think she’s to blame for systemic limits, the gift of a bird feeder sparks a relationship with a talking Crow who reconnects her with her true power.This sly chamber piece from new voice Caleigh Crow turns post-capitalism ennui on its head with a righteous fury. It unearths the subtle (and not so subtle) ways we gaslight the marginalized, especially Indigenous women, people living with mental-health afflictions, and anyone struggling to make ends meet in low-income service jobs. There Is Violence captures the vivacity and humour of one truly remarkable woman not meant for this earth, and brings her to her own glorious transcendence.

contemporary nightclub, following one family’s journey to discover their past.In the present day, Rami, a twentysomething queer Lebanese Canadian, has returned to the Lebanese mountains to bury his father. To cope with the weight of his grief, Rami, carrying a necklace in the shape of a phoenix left to him by his father, finds himself in a queer Beirut nightclub, where he catches the attention of a powerful drag queen named Fifi, who just so happens to be dressed as a phoenix.In 1978, in the midst of the Lebanese Civil War, Naseeb is attempting to get himself and his sister Mona out of Beirut and into the safety of the mountains. Mona, however, is secretly in love with her classmate, a woman named Yara, and refuses to leave the city. When Naseeb becomes swept up with the descending political culture of the war around him, he creates a rift between himself and Mona greater than the line that divides the country itself.
