SUMMARY:Talking Heads
DESCRIPTION:Where do we go after we die? \n\n\n\nWelcome to Talking Heads\, a talk show about death\, witches\, grief\, and ghosts. Hosted by Maggie May Harder\, award-winning comedian\, orphan\, dyke. \n\n\n\nKatie was hit head-on by an impaired driver going over 100km. In an accident that should have killed her\, she walked away with only a sprained wrist\, broken foot\, and a mysterious photo capturing ribbons of light at the exact time of the collision. \n\n\n\nBJ was on life support for three weeks with Guillenne Barre Syndrome. After being neurologically paralyzed\, he relearned to walk and talk\, and in his new lease on life\, threw himself into drag. \n\n\n\nLa Catrina is here. Galattticaaa\, adorned in flowers and painted in bones as death herself\, shares stories of dìa de muertos and loved ones that have received signals during this powerful time of honouring the dead. \n\n\n\nA shadow figure appears next to the TV\, suddenly gone to white noise. An ominous presence in the ensuite bathroom brings about bad luck. Alone in bed\, except for the spirit that’s creaking the bed frame. Sally has been a conduit for ghosts\, benevolent and otherwise\, for years. \n\n\n\nA death doula. A published author in Magdaragat\, the very first anthology of Filipino-Canadian writing. Haunted Walk Tour Guid and creator of the Pop Culture Death Altar. Felix is here to tell us about family\, through the lens of every funeral he’s ever attended. \n\n\n\nCome to giggle\, to get scared\, to make space for grief and release it.  \n\n\n\nThis show is for anyone who’s curious about what lives on after we do\, and what lives among us while we’re here.

DESCRIPTION:They get naked. They read. A different theme every month from Ottawa’s trailblazing literary salon — since July 2017. \n\n\n\nMonsters are more than just a staple of horror—they are a fertile ground for exploring all the facets of human existence that make us recoil or shy away at first glance. In our Halloween show\, we explore some of the classic monsters of literature and cinema. \n\n\n\nWe regret that the venue is inaccessible to some people. It is on the second floor of the building and accessible only via stairs. Non-gendered washrooms are available.
