Soundteam will be helping out with sound at this event:
Criminal Queers Backyard Films + Performances – Aug 12 “Yapping Out Loud” with Mirha Soleil-Ross, Sarah Bernard, +
at Ste. Emilie Skillshare
3942 rue Ste. Emilie
Nope, it didn’t start in Oakland. A backyard film series honouring our favorite criminal or criminalized queers. Films are preceded by some nice live musical performances (performers are not necessarily criminalized, they’re just nice people who play music)
As part of Pervers/cité:
August 12th, 2010 – 7-11pm Performers: Sarah Bernard, + TBC In Attendance: Mirha-Soleil Ross Film: Yapping Out Loud by Mirha-Soleil Ross (2004)
Film Description: A video documentary based on first-person Toronto performance show (7 monologues) dealing with prostitution and anti-prostitution. A tour de force by Canada’s most famous transsexual sexworker animal-rights activist performance artist, Yapping is hilarious and moving –half autobiographical, half agitprop satire, fully unforgettable.
Sarah Bernard is a young girl from Haiti who has momentarily settled in Montreal. She writes songs and book(s) in English, French, and Creole for piano, guitar, and voice. (Someday, Spanish and Italian– someday.) She’s a DJ who lives on and for dance-floors, but when Sarah sings, you can find soft traces of traditional Haitian folklore, little girl blues, traces of growing up on a piano and moving across the continent. They haven’t invented a name for her genre yet.
