Go Check It Out!

June 12, 2025

Gathering to celebrate the opening of super talented, multimedia artist Laura Taler’s newest film and exhibit - Matryoshka Crush.  Soft focus provided by slightly greasy popcorn fingered camera lens and the dreamy ambiance of the “Rose Room”.

JUNE 11 to AUGUST 16 - Matryoshka Crush (2025) 47 minutes will be playing at AXENÉO7 every hour on the hour.  AXENÉO7 - 80 rue HANSON, Gatineau, Québec.

Poison, exorcism, gender trouble, song, and dance intermingle in this darkly funny and disturbing tale of intense yearning.  When a series of adorable monsters reveal themselves near an old tavern, their ordinary acts transform into a chain of micro-disobediences. Told entirely through song, dance, and action, Matryoshka Crush straddles dance, film, contemporary art video and personal narrative.

Affinity was a proud supporter and Jordy Bell did the audio mix.

Matryoshka Crush was created with the support of Ottawa Dance Directive, Affinity Productions, City of Ottawa, and Canada Council for the Arts
