Vous êtes ici. Là où se confrontent les valeurs et les visions du monde. Lou et Aude sont amies inséparables depuis leur tendre enfance. L’une est ingénieure civile, l’autre, journaliste et féministe engagée. Le jour où Aude apprend qu’elle mettra au monde un enfant trisomique, elle se rue chez sa complice, pensant y trouver réconfort et soutien. Gamètes est la soirée cruciale où s’entrechoquent leurs visions tendres et crues de ce que signifie réussir sa vie quand on est femme aujourd’hui. Leurs dialogues mordants et touchants sont une ode à la liberté de choisir et de se façonner sur son propre modèle. Texte: Rebecca Déraspe // Mise en scène: Sophie Cadieux // Assistance à la mise en scène: Emanuelle Kirouac-Sanche // Distribution: Dominique Leclerc, Milva Ménard // Conception du décor et des costumes: Elen Ewing // Univers musical: DJ Ghislain Poirier // Éclairages: Marie-Aube St-Amant Duplessis Une production : Les Biches Pensives *** You are here. Where values and world views collide. Since childhood, Lou and Aude are inseparable friends. One is a civil engineer; the other, a journalist and active feminist. When Aude learns that her unborn child has Down syndrome, she rushes to Lou’s side, hoping to find comfort and support. Over the course of a crucial evening, their beliefs will be put to the test. What is the meaning of success for women today? By turns biting and poignant, their discussion becomes a celebration of the freedom to choose and the will to live life on one’s own terms.

Bloom 2019
#Bloom2019 is a new, multi-venue music festival taking place in downtown Sudbury. It is dedicated to presenting many styles of exciting music, with roots all over the world - it's a musical world party! Bombino • Shad • Kobo Town • Pierre Kwenders • The Battle of Santiago • Mehdi Cayenne • Greyson Gritt • The Young Novelists • Marc Nadjiwan • Chippy Nonstop • Gurpreet Chana :: The Tabla Guy • LAL • JUMPLE • Oonga • Catherine Taddo • Marc Meriläinen • + a few surprise artists & pop-up shows • FULL SCHEDULE: nlfb.ca/bloom/schedule • PASSES: nlfb.ca/bloom --------------------------------------------------------- SUDBURY, ON, January 16: BLOOM 2019 ANNOUNCES ITS FULL LINE-UP Northern Lights Festival Boréal has already announced West African guitar hero Bombino as a headliner. Since the last announcement, he has become the first Nigerien artist to be Grammy nominated. Just another of many reasons to check out his infectious Tuareg desert blues-rock-groove. Juno nominated hip-hop innovator Shad was also announced as a co-headliner. Both will play The Grand on March 8th, along with The Battle of Santiago. Concert tickets are now available. 2018 Juno winners Kobo Town will join the lineup. They create an infectious blend of witty social commentary, calypso, dancehall reggae and trombone-heavy brass. Fronted by émigré Trinidadian songwriter Drew Gonsalves, Kobo Town have been a repeat favourite at NLFB’s summer festival. Ottawa’s Mehdi Cayenne has an impressive repertoire of post-punk songs that blend world, pop, folk rock and funk in his very particular way. His lyrical (and often theatrical) brand of francophone rock has already blown away Sudbury crowds, and Bloom 2019 is thrilled to welcome him back to the Nickel City. Award winning First Nations rock band NADJIWAN will also perform, celebrating 25 years together. One of Canada’s most sought after tabla players, Gurpreet Chana,...

Bloom 2019: Bombino, Shad & The Battle of Santiago
You do not want to miss Bloom 2019's headlining show featuring Grammy nominated, West African guitar legend Bombino; Juno winning, hip-hop innovator Shad; & Afro-Cuban, post-rock groove machine The Battle of Santiago. This show is ALL AGES (minors accompanied) Tickets: www.nlfb.ca/tickets Full schedule: www.nlfb.ca/bloom/schedule Bombino: Home. Where the heart is. For Bombino and most other Tuareg, there’s only one place that can be. In recent years, the rest of the world has largely written off that home as a hot and savage wasteland, a bolt hole for religious extremists and terrorists, a geopolitical video nasty with little to offer apart from the oil, gold and phosphates that lie beneath its soil. But Bombino would like us to take a closer look and think again. His electrifying jams capture the spirit of resistance and rebellion while echoing with guitar riffs reminiscent of fellow Africans Tinariwen and Ali Farka Touré as well as Jimi Hendrix, John Lee Hooker and Jimmy Page. Bombino was recently the first Nigerien to be nominated Grammy. Shad: If you boil down Shad’s trajectory as a hip-hop artist up to this point, it all comes down to love. At a show, his people stare up at him with unconditional amounts of the stuff and he has used his platform as a rapper, a musician, and a writer, to search for and highlight all the love this hard world has to offer. Shad’s family settled in London, Ontario after fleeing the Rwandan genocide. He came up like a lot of first generation Canadian kids, with this cultural duality and the sense that this good country had some baggage that he’d have to unpack some day. He has released five solo albums: 2005’s When This Is Over; 2007’s The Old Prince; 2010’s TSOL; 2013’s Flying Colours; and 2018’s A Short...

Bloom 2019: Mehdi Cayenne, Catherine Taddo
Head to Little Montreal for a night of soothing sounds from Sault Ste. Marie’s Catherine Taddo followed by the “buck wild, beaming and disarmingly vulnerable” Franco-Ontarian, Mehdi Cayenne. This show is 19+. Government issued IDs may be required. $15 for non Weekend Pass holders. TICKETS: www.nlfb.ca/tickets SCHEDULE: www.nlfb.ca/bloom/schedule 11:00PM - Catherine Taddo 12:00AM - Mehdi Cayenne Mehdi Cayenne: Buckwild, beaming and disarmingly vulnerable, Mehdi Cayenne has been developing his intense and luminous approach over three LPs so far: Luminata in 2011, Na Na Boo Boo in 2013, and Aube in 2015 – earning awards, rave reviews and performing on major stages in Canada and abroad. With an uncanny stage presence, Mehdi roars through his quirky, funky-punky repertoire – whose worldly influences are strange and familiar at the same time. His songs possess something animalistic as well as a poetic sweetness, evoking a musical culture of many stripes and eras. Catherine Taddo: Sault Ste. Marie’s Catherine Taddo brings her experiences, passion and voice to her music. At age 11 she found a home playing guitar and has been playing and writing songs ever since. Taddo’s first album This Way, has been compared to the unique musical style of Norah Jones. Taddo’s latest release, Under Your Hood, features nine of Taddo’s songs, and one relatively obscure track by Louis Jordan, titled Men Are Like Street Cars. One review describes “The easy, powerful flow of Taddo’s voice mixed with the slick musicianship almost compels the body to sway, tap and move along.”

Feel like experiencing something different? Dance and sway to the unique sounds of LAL followed by a hypnotic show put on by Canada’s most sought-after tabla players, Gurpreet Chana. This show is 19+. Government issued IDs may be required. $15 for non Weekend Pass holders. TICKETS: www.nlfb.ca/tickets SCHEDULE: www.nlfb.ca/bloom/schedule 11:00PM - LAL 12:30AM - Gurpreet Chana Gurpreet Chana :: The Tabla Guy: A musician, technician, composer and performer, Gurpreet and his music juxtaposes the time-honoured tradition of the tabla with a dizzying array of musical styles. Weaving the hypnotic sounds of the tabla drum into the fabric of various music, he spreads its rhythmic pulse like a meme with each fresh cultural integration. LAL is an intersection between idea, place, and people, where we stand for moment and discuss the kind of world we will create. The conversation eventually gives way to dance, which, in turn, gives way to conversation, which again, makes room for dance. We will win. There’s no doubt the late 1990s, LAL introduced a political edge to the electronic underground, bridging the gap between art and social justice.
