Join us for a PWM and PGC in process reading of Room for a Pony and more with performance artist Andrea Cooper from Newfoundland

Featuring Stefanie Buxton, Michelle Rambharose, Davide Chiazzese, and Amir Sam Nakhjavani

Friday, February 2, 2018  at 4 p.m.
at PWM Studio (7250 Clark St, Suite 103Montréal, QC  H2R 2Y3)

Synopsis

Alexa spends her days verbally sparring with her pet parrot, sexting and engaging in late night rendezvous with strange men. As Alexa and her parrot become engulfed in a mutually shared self hatred, their verbal and physical relationship escalates. At times uncomfortable and exhausting, Room for A Pony explores transcending sex and death. Is there hope somewhere outside of the noise of technology, and a potential apocalypse?

Biography

Synopsis

You’re 16 and your life is a dark comedy. Your runaway hormones have a firm hold on you. Heaven is the beautiful older woman in your apartment building deciding you can be her friend. Hell is listening to your mother re-living her time as a survivor. Somewhere between heaven and hell you grow up.
