The Infringement Festival is an interdisciplinary festival open to all critical artists, running June 10 - 20, 2004. Announcing Montreal’s first annual infringement Festival.
As an activist, democratically-run, ethically sponsored, non-profit, bilingual event, it is free for any artist, theatre group or activist to participate in. The festival is currently looking for activists, street performers, artists, theatre groups, volunteers people to help with administration. Join the infringement and reclaim your culture!

The Infringement Festival is an interdisciplinary festival open to all critical artists, running June 10 - 20, 2004.

Celebrating Freedom of Expression and designed as a real arts democracy, this festival is a critical response to the oppressive neoliberal worldview and all its Billboard Trucks, Televisions, flyers, advertisements, jingles, made-for-TV Wars; and the depoliticisation of people through this diversionary Spectacle.

More specifically it is a critical response to the now-trademarked and corporatized St. Ambroise FringeTM Festival.

The infringement welcomes a variety of performances and cultural resistance: theatre groups, performers, street activism, political theatre, musicians, radical performance, marginalized arts, disadvantaged groups, and anyone wishing to artistically infringe on the monoculture that creeps into every corner of our lives. Raging grannies. Culture-Jammers. Entartistes. Performance activists. Guerrilla Screenings. Speaker's Corners. Interventions. Happenings. Do-It-Yourself. Reclaim the Culture!

The festival is already featuring Mysteries of Montreal (A Hidden History of Canada) by acclaimed Montreal playwright and activist David Fennario, the now-infamous performance/protest Car Stories from Optative Theatrical Laboratories, Travesty Theatre’s ever-offensive, ever-fun Dead Dolls Capitalism Cabaret, a Metro Party that will spontaneously transform one metro car into a celebration of freedom, workshops, a parade, music, beer, you name it.

The festival is currently looking for theatre groups, artists, activists, volunteers and even people to fill a few administrative positions. Many more details are online:

Please spread the word - FWD & REPOST; and please do get in touch with me if you are interested in joining the festival.

CMAQ: Vie associative


Collectif à Québec: n'existe plus.

Ceci est un média alternatif de publication ouverte. Le collectif CMAQ, qui gère la validation des contributions sur le Indymedia-Québec, n'endosse aucunement les propos et ne juge pas de la véracité des informations. Ce sont les commentaires des Internautes, comme vous, qui servent à évaluer la qualité de l'information. Nous avons néanmoins une Politique éditoriale , qui essentiellement demande que les contributions portent sur une question d'émancipation et ne proviennent pas de médias commerciaux.

This is an alternative media using open publishing. The CMAQ collective, who validates the posts submitted on the Indymedia-Quebec, does not endorse in any way the opinions and statements and does not judge if the information is correct or true. The quality of the information is evaluated by the comments from Internet surfers, like yourself. We nonetheless have an Editorial Policy , which essentially requires that posts be related to questions of emancipation and does not come from a commercial media.
