New wave

In conjunction with UNESCO’s International Year of Dialogue Among Civilizations, and just in time for Black History Month, Black Theatre Workshop is presenting Sea Change, a multidisciplinary reflection on the effects of the slave trade through history. A screening of Michael Jarvis’ film Angelique, the story of a young woman slave accused of setting a devastating fire in Montreal in the mid-18th century, will be followed by storytelling by Chimwemwe Miller (who also MCs the event). Nah-ee-lah performs spoken word and the young dancers of YouthWorks perform Zab Maboungou’s choreographies. Also, travelling group photo exhibit Portraits of Contemporary Black Montrealers will be on display.
