du boulevard Saint-Laurent
200 creators, 75 activities, 50
cultural institutions and organizations 24
hours of peaceful occupation designed to discover
the effervescence of the “Main” and
to highlight the 100th anniversary of Saint-Laurent
Boulevard. Significant presence in Parcs de la
Paix, des Amériques, du Portugal and Lahaie.
From Friday, September 30th at Midnight to Saturday
October 1st at Midnight, the “Main”
comes alive with experimental workshops, demonstrations,
performances as well as guided tours and opportunities
to get together. And for the first time, at 10
p.m., in the tradition of the “spoken word”,
Les Filles électriques host “Spécial
Shift de nuit / Night Shift” at Casa del
Popolo.
Also, Journées de la culture spokesperson and
bass guitarist Melissa Auf der Maur hosts a festive
night at Main Hall that lasts till 3 a.m. A multilingual
historical tour is offered by Les amis du boulevard Saint-Laurent
and L’autre Montréal to celebrate
the Boulevard’s 100th anniversary.
22 companies and organizations personify theatre
in all its forms and, for the most part, perform
outside their regular areas of entertainment.
These activities are the piece de resistence from
a diversified program including architecture,
visual arts, métier d’art, media
art and multimedia, cinema, video, dance, literature,
music, culture and history. Several artists invade
parks around the “Main”; interacting with spectators
is just part of the fun! |

team set uptheir studio on the “Main”.
The principal decor is a canvas and with
photoflashes, they create the exciting,
electric feeling of a photo session. This
unusual interactive session makes stars
out of passers-by as they become models
for the photo shoot. In the event of rain,
the activity is cancelled. There is also
a guided tour of the artist’s photographs.
