A moment of conviviality will bring the evening to a close.

Artist Maxime Potard, currently on a micro-residency at UM, accompanied by choreographer Leonardo Montecchia, will give us a preview of his show currently in development, "Danser dans mon petit salon sans me poser de question" (Dancing in my living room without asking myself questions), a poetic exploration of the concept of masculinity. This presentation will be followed by a discussion with the audience on gender stereotypes and education, in order to understand how certain social constructs lead to the trivialization of violence. The discussion will be punctuated by the reading of anonymous testimonials collected from UM students during interviews conducted on November 23 and 24.

This event is part of the "Days of Action Against Violence Against Women" campaign.
