    Querelle of Roberval
    • "When millworkers in Roberval, a northern Quebec logging town, go on strike, the conflict rips the close-knit community apart, and despite the workers' solidarity, their individual struggles and demands further escalate tensions within the group. They remain united by the desire to escape poverty and exact revenge on their boss, but when Brian Ferland decrees a lockout and awakens in them a buried rage, they rally around the mysterious and magnetic influence of Querelle, a dashingly cosmopolitan newcomer from Montreal. By day, Querelle walks the picket lines with his cohort, but at night he breaks bottles on the beach and settles scores with baseball bats and the town's privileged young men flock to his apartment for sex. As positions harden and both sides refuse to yield, sand stalls the gears of the economic machine and the tinderbox of class struggle and entitlement ignites in a firestorm of passions carnal and violent. Homage to Jean Genet's antihero and a brilliant reimagining of the ancient form of tragedy, Querelle of Roberval, winner of the Marquis de Sade Prize, is a wildly imaginative story of justice, passion, and murderous revenge."--

      You Will Love What You Have Killed
    • Céline Wachowski está teniendo un mal día. La prestigiosa e influyente arquitecta de fama internacional, presentadora de un exitoso programa televisivo y musa de mil memes, finalmente muestra el primer gran proyecto que realizará en su ciudad natal. Debería ser la joya que corone su brillante carrera, pero inmediatamente la crítica estalla: se la acusa de destruir el tejido social, de acelerar la gentrificación de los barrios y de toda una serie de pecados aún más capitales. Mientras furiosos manifestantes y medios de comunicación tiran por tierra su imperio, Céline intentará proteger su espléndido mundo. En esta implacable sátira social, una especie de drama en tres actos que disecciona con ironía y desenvuelta crueldad los excesos de los superricos, Kevin Lambert pone en escena a la clase privilegiada corriendo, por primera vez, el riesgo de perder el control, y nos pinta un fresco contemporáneo que habla sobre las dinámicas del neocapitalismo, el abuso de poder, la moralidad en el mundo artístico, y de las ficciones que la élite crea para que su alegría perdure.
