SUMMARY:Chester Playhouse presents Ben Caplan in concert
DESCRIPTION:Nova Scotia’s folk legend\, Ben Caplan\, brings a night of incredible music\, magical storytelling\, and powerful performance as his trio makes its first visit to the rebuilt Chester Playhouse. \n\n\n\nBen Caplan is both the roar of the hurricane and the eye of the storm. He has an uncanny ability to channel both wild abandon and quiet introspection. His songwriting pulls from many diverse influences\, but both his music and his lyrics regularly draw from his Jewish heritage. Often mixing biblical imagery and klezmer inflected melodies\, Caplan re-appropriates ancient sounds and themes with a decidedly contemporary twist. \n\n\n\nBen released his first studio album in 2011\, and has spent the last ten years recording music and performing to ever-growing audiences in music clubs and theatres around the world.

SUMMARY:Film Screening:  Where Olive Trees Weep
DESCRIPTION:The South Shore Chapter of the Council of Canadians and South Shore Ceasefire Now will host a film screening of Where Olive Trees Weep. \nThis documentary film gives background to the current crisis and brings to light the stories of the people that the filmmakers met in their 2022 journey in the occupied West Bank.  It offers a searing window into the struggles and resilience of the Palestinian people under Israeli occupation.  It explores themes of loss\, trauma\, and the quest for justice.   It features Palestinian journalist and therapist Ashira Darwish\, grassroots activist Ahed Tamimi\, and Israeli journalist Amira Hass.  There is also footage of Dr. Gabor Maté offering trauma-healing work to a group of women who were tortured in Israeli prisons.  \nThe film is a call for the end to the occupation in Palestine\, equal rights and fair treatment for Palestinian people\, and the spreading of healing for all intergenerational cycles of trauma in the region.  \nPlease join us Sunday\, February 9th at 2:00pm (snow date February 16th).   Following the film\, there will be an opportunity to learn about the work that both organizations are doing\, hear about future plans\, explore ways to take action\, and gather with others for sharing and conversation.   Light refreshments will be available.  All are welcome.  Admission is free\, but we welcome donations.  Any money collected beyond our expenses will be sent to an aid organization\, selected by South Shore Ceasefire Now.

SUMMARY:The First Jew in Canada - A Trans Tale
DESCRIPTION:Sat\, Mar 1 • 8:00 pm – Doors at 7:30\n$25\nTickets online or at Rose Bay Bistro\n\nThe First Jew in Canada: A Trans Tale is a wild journey in story\, crossing oceans\, religions\, genders\, and centuries\, mapping the life of Jacques LaFargue – the trans Jewish 18th century historical figure whose very existence challenges current perceptions of transgender history and identity.\n\nThrough the lens of nine verifiable facts\, this show begins with the historical records of Jacques LaFargue and overlays the personal narrative of narrator S. Bear Bergman\, a Jewish transgender man whose modern life mirrors Jacques’s in startling\, hilarious\, exhausting and illuminating ways. From daring adventure to startling truth\, each fact becomes a gateway to exploring broader themes of identity\, history\, and the desire to be seen.
