M’appelle Mohamed Ali
écrit par Dieudonné Niangouna
Mise en scène par Tatiana Zinga Botao et Philippe Racine du Théâtre La Sentinelle
Conception sonore
Au seuil de la scène, un acteur africain s’apprête à incarner le grand Mohamed Ali, icône de la boxe américaine et militant contre la ségrégation raciale. Dans cet instant de vertige, les luttes s’entremêlent. Frappent les paroles incisives du champion. Brillent les combats mythiques du boxeur. Gronde la résistance de l’homme de théâtre noir en Occident. Et comme ils boxent, ils dansent.

Riot police were called in when an agreement to end the occupation fell through, resulting in widespread damage, a mysterious fire, and over a hundred arrests. Created and devised by some of Montréal’s most prolific artists, Blackout re-examines the events the led to the occupation and protests, asking how race relations have changed in Québec over the last 50 years.
