Parler Mal: A Theatrical Docu-Drama on Linguistic Insecurity 🗯️

May 23 @ 8:00 pm – 10:00 pm

Remaining silent in the face of judgement based on your way of speaking is a reality far more common than people think.

Gabriel and Bianca, two Acadian artists, tackle this issue. Humourously, of course – yet not without its share of pain – the pair explore how certain prejudices are held with regard to a language. Their language. And the resulting consequences of linguistic insecurity.

Bianca Richard and Gabriel Robichaud, both from south-eastern New Brunswick, are the instigators of this ambitious project, which includes this theatrical docu-drama, as well as a podcast series and a documentary – an extensive multimedia project which has turned into a genuine Pandora’s box.

Stupid F@#*ing Bird ̼

April 10 @ 7:30 pm – 10:00 pm

Brought to you by the creative team behind last year’s immensely popular Jesus Christ Superstar, Hubcity Theatre is proud to present Stupid F*cking Bird.

Young playwright Con invites his uncle, his mother, her lover, and his two closest friends to see his new play starring his girlfriend, Nina. What follows is a clash of family, fate, and feelings as each character explores their relationship with each other, the world, and the ideas of love and art.

Razor-sharp witty, bombastically vulgar, and heart-wrenchingly emotional, Stupid F*cking Bird presents a roller coaster of a story exploring love & art, creation & destruction. In this irreverent, contemporary, and very funny remix of Anton Checkov’s masterpiece,The Seagull, Aaron Posner stages a timeless battle between young and old, past and present, in search of the true meaning of it all. Stupid F*cking Bird will tickle, tantalize, and incite you to consider how art, love, and revolution fuel your own pursuit of happiness.
