EH!U MEET THE EUROPEANS
In any field, making decisions is a privilege, a pleasure and at times, a burden.
That is why food book sales are skyrocketing as our way of life becomes more
urban and fast-paced. But that is not so new. Indeed, in his food book Cuisinière
Provencale, Jean-Baptiste Reboul (*) – an author praised by the Frédéric Mistral,
Nobel Price in Literature – guide us throughout many a traps, starting with the
market because “nothing is more vicious than the housewife’s habits to buy anything and everything, according to their will”, including fish: “We want to warn
the young housewives against the tricks of some saleswomen at the Fish Market… Please remember that a fish that’s not fresh will not display the expected
vivid, inflated eyes; the rigid body; or the unique fragrance of ocean and fresh
see weeds at tide recess”. November yields the rich harvest of internationally acclaimed movies from across Europe: the 5th annual European film festival is back!
Read on for more exciting events in music, visual arts and literature!

LORÈNE BOURGEOIS
Glendon Gallery present an exhibition of work by Lorène Bourgeois, entitled enveloppes du corps/works on
paper and slate, from October 27th
to December 11th, 2009. This new
body of work, composed of brilliantly
executed drawings and paintings, explores the formal and material aspects of clothing and its relation to
human and animal bodies. All are
welcome to join a visit guided by the
artist on Tuesday, October 27th at
5:30pm, followed by the opening at
OCTOBER 27TH - DECEMBER 11TH
6pm.
According to Curator Marc Audette,
the subjects for the work of Lorène
Bourgeois may be found in our drawers and wardrobres, or in the trunks
of our forebears. Like an archaeologist, she rummages in obscure and
forgotten places, whereever her intuition leads. She finds garments, but
invests them with new meaning. They
cease being clothes, but pose, almost
as live models. Thus, a shirt button
suggests a nipple or a navel, a sleeve
evokes a shoulder or an arm, and the
folds in cloth recall the irregularities
of skin. The sensuality exuding from
these drawings and paintings offer us
unfamiliar views of the textite objects we call clothing.
Lorène Bourgeois was born in
France, and she has been living in
Canada since 1984. She trained as an
artist in paris, Philadelphia and Halifax. Her work in drawing, painting,
and printmaking, has been widely exhibited across Canada, as well as in
France, Korea, Russia, and the United
States. She is represented in private
and public collections, including the
Canada Council Art Bank, the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade, Ernest & Young, the
Museum of Contemporary Canadian
Art, the National Bank of Canada, and
the University of Toronto.

MICHEL LEGRAND AND MARIO PELCHAT
NOVEMBER 13TH AND 14TH
Composer, virtuoso pianist, singer,
score-writer, songwriter, arranger,
conductor, director and producer
MICHEL LEGRAND closes his 25-date
Canadian tour with two rare and intimate shows in Toronto on November
13th and 14th.
Parisian Legrand has bridged the Atlantic for decades, writing scores and
songs for movies and theatre in Europe and America, winning 3 Academy Awards and 5 Grammy Awards,
and being nominated for 9 Drama
Desk Awards, 5 Tony Awards and an
Emmy along the way.
Songs from over 200 films and 100
albums have been performed by
Frank Sinatra, Liza Minnelli, Tony
Bennett, Rosemary Clooney, Sarah
Vaughan, Barbra Streisand, Henry
Mancini, Maurice Chevalier, Stan
Getz, Lena Horne, Shirley Bassey, Ray
Charles and Miles Davis, to name just
a few.
Now Legrand's pieces from movies
like The Thomas Crown Affair, Yentl,
The Umbrellas of Cherbourg, Lady
Sings the Blues, Never Say Never
Again, and Brian's Song will be sung
by Québec sensation MARIO PELCHAT
with a stellar group of musicians fea-
turing CATHERINE MICHEL from the
Opéra de Paris on harp.
Pelchat has had an illustrious career
in his native Québec. With 15 albums
to his credit, he has opened for Celine Dion (which sparked the duet
Plus haut que moi) and for Madonna,
won 2 Félix Awards, played Quasimodo in Notre-Dame de Paris in
Québec, France, Belgium, Italy &
Lebanon, starred in the musical Don
Juan in Montréal and in La Vie en
bleu – Pablo Picasso’s life story, directed by Robert Hossein in Paris. A
chance meeting with Michel Legrand
in Paris led to their recording of an
album released in March 2009, which
includes a duet with Pelchat and
Dionne Warwick on How Do You Keep
the Music Playing. After a sold-out
show in Paris, the chemistry between
Legrand and Pelchat on stage was
such that a Canadian tour was
launched.

Severine is a beautiful young woman
married to a doctor. She loves her
husband dearly, but cannot bring herself to be physically intimate with

has to replace his party’s candidate, who was felled by cancer, on a very short notice.
Follwing the first round of the
election, Michel and his inner
circle have little time to prepare for the televised debate
with his opponent. Not very
popular with the media and the
public, he absolutely must improve his image and fine-tune
his rhetoric.
He therefore organizes a
working weekend at his house.
Initially docile and vulnerable,
the candidate gives in to all of
his staff’s demands, until he
reaches the brink of exhaustion, and discovers that he is

Julie's boyfriend Ismaël lives with
her; rather than worry about the time
he spends with his colleague Alice,
Julie invites Alice to join them. The
three walk the streets of Paris, party,
read, and sleep together. Sometimes
it's lighthearted, sometimes there are
jealousies. Then death strikes...
Anna has just left Paul who, annihilated by the separation, moves back
with his father in Paris. His younger
brother Jonathan, a casual student,
still lives in his father's apartment
and spends most of his time womanizing and fooling around. But what
this apparent lightness conceals is a
deep wound. Jonathan, in fact, has
never been able to overcome the
