We launch this dossier with Life Stories of Montrealers displaced by War, Genocide, and other Human Rights Violations. This five-year oral history project explores survivors' experiences and memories of mass violence and displacement. A team comprised of dozens of university and community-based researchers are in the process of recording life story interviews with more than 500 Montreal residents from Rwanda, Cambodia, Haiti, Latin America, and South Asia, as well as Holocaust survivors.
“We respond to gestures with an extreme alertness and, one might almost say, in accordance with an elaborate and secret code that is written nowhere, known to none, and understood by all”. Edward Sapir
Broadcast on CKUT 90.3 FM's Monday Morning After on April 12, in this piece Kaitlin Prest speaks with Sandeep Bagwati and the performers involved in his gestural theatre project: researching the stories told through the language of gesture. How does the body experience displacement? What does the body remember? Studying the body language of four Life Stories interviews, the project put together a performance piece entitled Lamentations.
