Mommy by Xavier Dolan (Canada’s entry for the 2015 Oscars) UK – Ireland – Nordic Countries January – April 2015 JAN – APR 2015 ‘From the very opening moments, Nézet-Séguin had us completely in thrall’ – The Scotsman, (Yannick Nézet-Séguin) Bonjour, As Québec’s new Agent-General in London, allow me first to wish you all a very happy and successful new year. I am delighted to be taking up this position at the head of the London team and very much look forward to meeting many of you during my time in office. Québec’s relationship with the UK, Ireland and the Nordic countries is a crucially important one in political, economic and, of course, cultural terms. Québec is extremely proud of its artists and cultural enterprises, whose incredible work on the world stage showcases the best of Québec to an international audience while at the same time opening doors to investment, intercultural development and political exchange. Culture is a central part of the Québec identity and a vital force in our economy. We are proud and delighted to be able to share it with you again this year. Bonne lecture! Christos Sirros Agent-General, Québec Government Office in London Venez célébrer la semaine de la francophonie! 20 March: Match International d’Improvisation @ Institut Français in London Following last year’s resounding success, performers will fly in from around the Francophonie to face off in a comedic tussle with a particularly Québécois twist. 2015 is especially important for us: Québec’s Michaëlle Jean, former Governor General of Canada, has recently been appointed General Secretary of the Francophonie. She is the first woman to hold the position.

On the evidence of Stellar Quines’s production of The Carousel, by the Québécoise writer Jennifer Tremblay, the answer is a heartfelt yes’ – The Times, (Jennifer Tremblay) 01 MUSIC Photo © Photoman.ca 02 MUSIC Le Vent du Nord Marc-André Hamelin 17 January – 21 March Various venues across the UK (See listings pages 12– 13 or visit www.leventdunord.com) 27 January Royal Festival Hall London ‘Hamelin’s legend will grow. Right now there is no one like him’ – The New Yorker Cold Specks Celebrated Québec pianist Marc-André Hamelin continues to cement his reputation as one of the greatest classical musicians of today. In January, he will perform Liszt’s Piano Concerto No. 2 with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in London. www.marcandrehamelin.com | www.southbankcentre.co.uk Photo © Élias Image courtesy of artist Combining a great stage presence with an energetic, dynamic flair, Le Vent du Nord are one of the leading names in Québécois folk music throughout the world, delighting crowds with their mix of fiddle, guitar, accordion and hurdy-gurdy since 2002. On 17 January they return to Celtic Connections, Glasgow’s annual folk, roots and world music festival, for a concert which will be recorded by the BBC (for broadcast in February 2015). Then, on 16 March at Kings Place in London, the quartet will launch their eighth CD. Louis Lortie’s playing possesses the ‘combination of total spontaneity and meditated ripeness that only great pianists have’ - The Times A leading interpreter of the music of Beethoven, Lortie is also noted for his interpretations of Ravel and Chopin. In this concert, as part of the Southbank Centre’s prestigious International Piano Series, he will couple Alexander Scriabin’s vividly imagined preludes with pieces in the same form by Gabriel Fauré. www.coldspecks.com | www.vega.dk www.louislortie.com | www.southbankcentre.co.uk The Barr Brothers Éric Plamondon 12 – 14 March Littfest Umeå, Sweden Québec novelist Éric Plamondon will participate in Littfest, the largest literature festival in northern Scandinavia, in Umeå this March. He has written three novels, which together make up the 1984 trilogy, based on three American icons; Johnny Weissmuller, the Olympic athlete and actor, Richard Brautigan, the cult beatnik writer and Apple founder Steve Jobs. www.ericplamondon.fr | www.littfest.se Photo © Sim Canetty Clarke The Barr Brothers recorded their ‘thrillingly unusual’ (Washington Post) and ‘sacred-sounding’ (Rolling Stone) debut album in a homemade studio in a Montreal boiler room back in 2011. They then took the self-titled LP to Letterman and NPR, shared stages with Emmylou Harris and The National, headlined the Montreal Jazz Festival in front of 58,000 people, and embarked on major tours around the world. Their second album, Sleeping Operator, was released in October 2014.

Cirkopolis Cirque Alfonse Cirque Éloize 2- 4 January Brighton Dome Concert Hall UK 17 February – 25 April Various venues across the UK and Denmark (See listings pages 12-13 or visit www.cirque-eloize.com) ‘Uniquely flavoursome’ - The Times Combining circus arts with music, dance and theatre, artistic director Jeannot Painchaud has joined together with celebrated Québec choreographer Dave St-Pierre to create a tour de force in contemporary circus. Blending circus with theatre, dance, live traditional music and Québec folklore, this brave and creative family of performers has just been awarded the Best International Tour award by Québec’s Arts Council, having brought Timber! to 52,000 spectators in 30 cities around the world since its tour debut in 2013. Cirkopolis transports performers and spectators between dream and reality in an uninterrupted stream of acrobatics, music, images and drawings to delight the eye. Performing within an inventive stage design and accompanied by an original musical score and video projections, 12 acrobats and multidisciplinary artists rebel against monotony, reinvent themselves and challenge the limits of the factory-city. www.cirquealfonse.com | www.brightondome.org DANCE Cirque du Soleil Kooza 6 January – 8 February Royal Albert Hall London Quidam 18 – 22 February 5 – 7 March 11 – 15 March The Forum Spektrum Hartwall Arena Copenhagen, Denmark Oslo, Norway Helsinki, Finland Yellow Towel Dana Michel Cirque du Soleil return once more to delight international audiences with their unparalleled brand of circus extravaganza. 4 March Inkonst Malmö, Sweden Kooza is a return to the origins of Cirque du Soleil that combines two circus traditions, acrobatic performance and the art of clowning. The show highlights the physical demands of human performance in all its splendour and fragility, presented in a colourful mélange that emphasises bold slapstick humour. 20 – 21 March Black Box Oslo, Norway Dana Michel is a critically-acclaimed choreographer and performer from Montreal whose work can perhaps best be described by its influences: lucid cinematography, living sculpture, physical comedy, psychological excavation, deconstructed social commentary, the bulimic logic of hip hop and child-like naivety. Her most recent solo, Yellow Towel, was featured in the ‘Top Five’ and ‘Top Ten’ 2013 dance moments in Voir newspaper (Montreal) and Dance Current Magazine (Canada) respectively, and was recently singled out as one of the most remarkable productions at the 2014 American Realness Festival (New York City) by The New York Times. www.danielleveilledanse.org | www.inkonst.com | www.blackbox.no Photo © Ian Douglas www.cirquedusoleil.com | www.oslospektrum.no www.forumcopenhagen.dk | www.hartwallarena.fi Quidam. Photo © Matt Beard Since its world premiere in 1996, Quidam has toured on five continents and been experienced by millions of people. The international cast features 52 world-class acrobats, musicians, singers and characters. Unlike any other Cirque du Soleil show, Quidam does not occupy an imaginary realm but is rather an examination of our own world, inhabited by real people with real-life concerns. 05 Photo © 2012 Productions Neuvart/Valérie Remise ‘There are much bigger shows than Cirkopolis, 90 minutes of circus-theater by the Cirque Éloize troupe of Montreal. But I’d bet there aren’t more beautiful ones’ – The New York Times Fresh from their Christmas run at the Southbank Centre in London, acclaimed Québec company Cirque Alfonse are bringing their thrilling circus performance Timber! to Brighton. With this wood-chucking spectacular, inspired by the exploits of the first North American lumberjacks, loggers and farmers, you can almost smell the freshly-cut pine. JAN – APR 2015 D I G I TA L A R T S Nottdance 2015 Digital Québec @ BFI Katie Ward & George Stamos Photo © Susan Moss DANCE Photo © Sonia Stefan 06 ELEKTRA & MUTEK March 12 – 13 (See www.bfi.org.uk for participating artists) BFI Southbank London 5 – 15 March Nottingham, UK JAN – APR 2015 Montreal digital arts festivals ELEKTRA and MUTEK are teaming up to organise Digital Québec @ BFI, a major event presented under the banner of the BFI’s Sonic Cinema project. Through artistic performances, presentations and professional activities, the London public, as well as selected UK and European programmers and art professionals, will get an exciting insight into the excellence of Québec artists working in the field of digital art. Nottdance, one of Europe’s leading festivals of dance and performance, is known for its innovative and entertaining programme and for always posing the question ‘what can dance be?’ At this year’s festival, dancer and choreographer Katie Ward will present her latest work, Infinity Doughnut. In this speculative and naive survey of our surroundings, bodies are squeezed and compressed; they also laugh, vibrate and drift. Québec artists will present audiovisual performances over two nights in the BFI’s flagship cinema (NFT1), while the International Marketplace for Digital Arts (IMDA) will showcase the artistic practice and related activities of Québec artists and organisations to an audience of selected industry professionals. Free presentations and discussions on the topic of digital creativity in Québec will also be open to the public. Performed outside of the theatre, George Stamos will present Reel, a twirling meditation, oscillating between ritual, performance and play. In a suspended state of spinning for periods of up to 60 minutes at a time, the artist references his experiences of euphoria as a dancer in nightclubs. ELEKTRA is a Montreal-based cultural initiative, presenting artists and digital artworks concerned with contemporary aesthetics in research and experimentation. Since 2012, the organisation has also produced the International Digital Arts Biennial (BIAN), held all over Montreal. www.katieward.org | www.georgestamos.org | www.dance4.co.uk D I G I TA L A R T S Elastic City Spacey Control No Control Leila Sujir Daniel Iregui 3 – 10 January Illuminate Bath Bath, UK 5 – 16 January International Winter Lights London Photo © Daniel Iregui A Chorus of Lungs.

Also in January, Daniel Iregui will present his LED, interactive installation Control No Control at Montgomery Square in London’s Canary Wharf. Using their hands, arms or entire body, the public can decide which LEDs will light up, and by doing so, control the graphic display, motion and music of the installation. www.studio-arts.concordia.ca | www.illuminatebath.org http://iregular.io EM15 | Herman Kolgen (QC/CA) – SEISMIK @ Caroline Hayeur.
