The title is drawn from the French colonial archival record that brings us the story of Esther Brandeau \/ Jacques La Fargue, who was a purportedly Jewish woman from the south of France who arrived to Canada in 1738 passing as a Christian man, was doubly outed, held under house arrest and ultimately deported purportedly for refusing to convert to Christianity. They are known as \u201cthe first Jewish woman in Canada.\u201d A third-person voice testimony claims that Brandeau lived as a man and worked across France for five years before arriving to Quebec. This piece was first created as a one-to-one upon the invitation of Rhubarb Festival in 2012 (curated by Laura Nanni), and finds audience member cast as interrogator. The work has been adapted to a range of sites and forms in Canada, Hungary, Serbia, and Brazil. Performed in French or in English, with thanks to Nadine Desrochers for translation assistance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The story of Esther Brandeau \/ Jacques La Fargue as site-specific intervention and one-to-one performance&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":29,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,3,7,2,9,8,5,6,1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/heatherhermant.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/heatherhermant.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/heatherhermant.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heatherhermant.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heatherhermant.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=24"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/heatherhermant.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":290,"href":"https:\/\/heatherhermant.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24\/revisions\/290"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heatherhermant.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/29"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/heatherhermant.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=24"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heatherhermant.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=24"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heatherhermant.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=24"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
