Michel(le)
As kids, Joey and Michel loved to put on shows for family and friends. In the working-class Quebec of the ’60s and ’70s where they grew up, it was difficult to show their true colours. To free themselves and survive, each brother went their own way. One became an actor in Vancouver, the other shone on the Montréal drag scene before becoming the woman she always felt she could be. But can we blossom freely when our identity is at tragic odds with the roles society imposes on us?
Inspired by his own story, Joey Lespérance’s first solo show paints a portrait of contrasts, weaving a marginal, courageous and tumultuous path. By giving new life to the lost dream of his sibling Michel(le), the artist’s unique and vibrant voice perpetuates the memory of unique destinies too often forgotten.
