Public Energy Performing Arts presents "the village trilogy" and "Matryoshka Crush"

Date:Friday, March 27, 2026
Time:7 p.m.
Location:    Art Gallery of Peterborough (250 Crescent St., Peterborough)

Romanian-born Canadian Laura Taler made her first film "the village trilogy" in 1995. Heralded by Dance International Magazine as marking the beginning of the dance film boom in Canada, it alludes to the millions of people uprooted through emigration over the past century, capturing a time and place that is beyond our grasp, but not beyond our memory. Presented in partnership with the Art Gallery of Peterborough, Taler will screen "the village trilogy" alongside her most recent film "Matryoshka Crush," in which poison, exorcism, gender trouble, song, and dance intermingle in a darkly funny and disturbing tale of intense yearning.
