The DJ who gave too much information (Hospitality 5) – theatre

de PME-ART (Montréal)

PME-Art 2

PME-Art 3

A pile of records and a record player. For every record we have one story at the ready. For each performance we will play different records in a different order and tell the stories that go with them. The new creation by PME-ART - part five of the HOSPITALITÉ-HOSPITALITY Project - explores the way music infiltrates our personal and social lives, affecting our ongoing understanding of love, work and how we think society should operate.

Focusing on artistic collaboration, PME-ART combines creation, exploration, critical reflection, dissemination and casual yet significant interactions with various publics. The work is an ongoing process of questioning the world, of finding the courage to say things about the current predicament that are direct and complex, of interrogating the performance situation. PME-ART’s past performances include HOSPITALITY 3: Individualism Was A Mistake and HOSPITALITY 1: The Title Is Constantly Changing, as well as Families Are Formed Through Copulation/La famille se crée en copulant, Le Génie des autres/Unrehearsed Beauty and En français comme en anglais, it’s easy to criticize presented over the last twelve years in twenty-nine cities in Quebec, Canada, Europe, Japan and the United States.


« Montreal’s acclaimed multidisciplinary PME-ART wants to better understand the world through a unique approach to theatre. Under the co-artistic directorship of Jacob Wren and Sylvie Lachance, the group has redifined the intersection of where performer meets audience. » Paula Citron, Globe And Mail, 2008
