more than 20 new companies struggling to get established.Many have since become regular faces on the cultural calendar.During the same period, writing and publishing have enjoyed a miler burst of activity.with 11 publishing houses now presenting both English-language authors and francophones in translation, and several hundred books on their combined lists.Still.despite this remarkable level of activity there remains in the public mind o belief that the best and the brightest have left Quebec.along with head offices and jobs.And in the heart of every artist, there exists a nagging doubt that the public mind is right, that we are fooling ourselves to work so hard at creating theatre and books.at o time and in the place where disintegration seems to be the trend.Celebration \u201893 is all about dispelling that doubt and setting straight the public mind.The simple fact is that anglophone Quebec is well on its way to finding a unique and powerful voice.Anyone who comes out for the plays and readings in Celebration \u201893 will see that something truly original is happening here, despite tremendous odds.There is a fusion of cultures going on, a new aesthetic response born of the day to doy contacts between English and French.At the same time, there 1s also a strong and dignified response - in English - to the massive social, political and psychological changes which have transformed Quebec in recent years.Each theatre company and publishing house has a stack of enthusiastic reviews, proof that the official culture watchers have found quality.L we won't enter a true renaissance we have broken through the despair and indifference that has hung over anglophone Quebec for too long.Celebration \u201893 is about taking down walls, exploring new fontiers - between books and theatre.English and French, but most of all, between artists and our public.Anglophone Quebec, practically dead?No, dlive and well and ready to dance.u milieu des années 80, le votidien La Presse déclarait que le éâtre anglophone montréalais était \u201cpratiquement mort\u201d.Dans les faits, la communauté théâtrale anglophone était bel et bien vivante; plus d'une vingtaine de jeunes troupes s'implantaient dans le décor.Depuis, plusieurs se sont imposées, devenant d'importants repères dans l'agenda culturel montréalais.À la même époque, l'écriture et l'édition connurent une croissance similaire.|l existe aujourd'hui ll maisons d'édition publiant des auteurs de langue anglaise et des auteurs francophones en traduction, constituant un répertoire de plusieurs centaines d'ouvrages.Malgré toutes ces réalisations, il existe toujours cette croyance populaire voulant que les meilleurs éléments aient quitté le Québec, autant du côté des travailleurs que des grandes compagnies.Et au coeur de chaque artiste persiste le doute que cette croyance est justifiée.que le public a raison de croire qu'il est futile de continuer à présenter du théâtre et à créer des oeuvres littéraires ici, à une époque où l'éparpillement du public semble être un fait irréversible.La raison d'étre de Celebration \u201893 est de corriger cette perception.La réalité démontre plutôt que les anglophones du Québec sont à la veille de se foire entendre de monière éloquente.Quiconque assistera aux lectures et pièces de théâtre présentées dans le cadre de Celebration \u201893 réalisera que des voix originales existent ici même, ce malgré les obstacles.Nous assistons à une nouvelle fusion des cultures, une nouvelle approche artistique née de la cohabitation quotidienne des milieux francophones et anglophones.De surcroît, les nombreux rapports sociaux, politiques et psychologiques qui ont morqué le Québec au cours des récentes années sont exprimés aujourd'hui avec force et fierté - aussi en anglais .Choque compagnie de théâtre et chaque maison d'édition ont su recueillir des commentaires critiques favorables en grand nombre: les observateurs culturels reconnus ont su y déceler la qualité, Mais une véritable renaissance n'aura lieu que si nous pouvons vaincre l'indifférence et le désespoir qui ont trop longtemps accompagné les sentiments de la communauté anglophone à son propre égard.Celebration \u201893 veut explorer de nouvelles frontières et jeter des ponts, entre lo littérature et le théâtre, entre anglophones et francophones, mais surtout entre les artistes et le public.Pratiquement mort, le milieu anglophone du Québec?Sûrement pos Plutôt bien vivant et prêt à entrer dans la ronde de plein pied.Morionne Ackermen Dans le milieu thédtral, on a I'habitude des premiéres.Méme si chacune d'elles est en soi unique, Celebration \u201893 innove par son essence.Premier festival de théâtre et de littérature anglophone.Celebration \u201893 nous convie à une véritable «ruée vers l'art», orchestrée par la comunauté artistique anglo-québécoise.Je suis extrèmement heureuse de m'associer à un événement aussi riche de promesses, qui témoigne avec éloquence de la vitalité des artistes et créateurs anglophones du Québec.Je souhaite que ce festival soit pour tous et toutes une source de découvertes et d'enrichissement.La ministre de la culture.Liza Frulla = = = THEATRE WORDS & MORE TIEATNT :L'Affaire Tartuffe Thea I FAIRE Anton POV Productions co \u201cA Prairie Boy's Winter Gi Between The Covers CBC Ro CELEBRATION '93 3 The Montreal Mirror presents Imago Theatre's A SLIGHT ACHE and THE LOVER By Harold Pinter Directed by Andrés Hausmann NOV 9 -
