Logic of the Worst

Following the renewed closure of public venues by the government, the public performances have not taken place at La Chapelle. They will be POSTPONED at Centaur Theatre as part of the Wildside Festival from March 2 to 5 2022. Five performers explore the idea of the “worst” in front of their audience. Through anecdotal stories, demonstrations and flights of fancy, the worst proves to be a powerful philosophical acid that exposes our relation to the world, shining a playful but unforgiving light from which even the performers cannot hide. While being a primarily scenic project, Logic of the Worst coordinates text, movement, music and stage set, searching for a universe capable of not only seducing spectators, but of also making them the privileged accomplices of a truly original world view. Presented as part of the Wildside Festival Remix in partnership with the Centaur Theatre and La Chapelle Scènes Contemporaines. “This is the third year that we have been partnering with La Chapelle Scènes Contemporaines for the Wildside Festival, and it has become a very important collaboration for Centaur. Providing the chance to support and celebrate independent artists doing exciting, boundary-breaking work is what the Wildside Festival is meant to do, and La Chapelle is the beating heart of that kind of work in Montreal in both languages.” -Eda Holmes, Artistic and Executive Director, Centaur Theatre
