After giving more than 40 performances across Quebec, Sébastien Provencher is offering an original and adapted version of his work Children of Chemistry in the glass facade of Édifice 2-22, a cultural venue located in Montreal’s Quartier des spectacles. Children of Chemistry is inspired by the masculine and feminine standards conveyed in the media and popular culture.

FREE OUTDOOR EVENT
The 2-22 building is located at 2 Sainte-Catherine Street East, at the corner of Saint-Laurent Blvd
The public is free to come and go as they please
