Controversial children’s play will go on as planned in Pointe-Claire, Que.
Pointe-Claire’s mayor, Tim Thomas, says the play — as well as most of its cultural programming — are recommendations from the Conseil des arts de Montréal , a public body that scouts, supports and funds the creation and production of arts in Montreal.
“We maybe have a unique voice here in Pointe-Claire that needs to be listened to,” said Thomas. “If the Black community in the West Island needs a bigger voice, I would encourage them to get involved with CAM, maybe we can get a dialogue going, where its understanding and interpretation of things can be appreciated in CAM decision making.
“There may be cultural and linguistic differences in the way that French-speaking Black artists and English-speaking Black audiences and viewers see and react to the same artistic creation,” he said.It’ll also play in Beaconsfield the next day.
