M/NM | Il teatro rosso, a tribute to Montreal’s legendary Red Light era

Interview by Frédéric Cardin

Additional Information

Tuesday, February 25 sees the premiere of the musical/multimedia show Il teatro rosso, presented by Montreal ensemble No Hay Banda and the Festival Montréal / Nouvelles Musiques. At the heart of this intriguing project, featuring avant-garde music, video and out-of-the-box staging, is the Montreal of the 1920s-1930s, that of the theaters and cinemas of a bygone era linked to that of the Red Light and its vices and dark deviances, themselves camouflaged behind glittering neon lights. The mystery of this hidden world, which today has the allure of legend, fascinates the work’s creator and musical director Steven Kazuo Takasugi, and Noam Bierstone, percussionist and founding member of No Hay Banda. I spoke to him about this Red Theatre.
