Podcast appearances and mentions of Hannah Moscovitch

Hannah Moscovitch is a Governor General's Award-winning Canadian playwright whose work often takes a sharp and uncompromising look at the internal lives of women. Her play “Red Like Fruit,” tells the story of Lauren, a journalist covering a high profile domestic violence case who starts to reexamine her own past experiences with men. Hannah tells Tom Power why she describes her work as “taking a knife” to herself, and why she viewed this play as an opportunity to uncensor parts of her own life.

durée : 00:04:05 - Capture d'écrans - par : Redwane Telha - À retrouver sur arte.tv, "Little Bird". Immense série signée Jennifer Podemski et Hannah Moscovitch sur l'une des pages les plus sombres de l'histoire canadienne.

Diffusée sur Arte et Arte TV, Little Bird est une fiction qui a été récompensée par le prix du public lors de l'édition 2023 de Séries Mania. C'est une série historique qui se penche sur le passé d'Esther Rosemblum, une jeune femme d'origine amérindienne enlevée de force à sa famille dans les années 60 et adoptée par des parents juifs. Vingt ans plus tard, elle est sur le point de devenir avocate et célèbre ses fiançailles avec David, un brillant médecin, juif lui aussi. Un mariage parfait et une vie rêvée entachés par un racisme latent qu'elle subit au quotidien. Aussi, lorsqu'elle surprend sa future belle-famille à critiquer, elle aussi, ses origines, elle décide de partir à la recherche de sa famille qui la connaît sous le nom de Bezhig Little Bird. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xWNzZt1lOeU La « rafle des années 60 » au Canada et ses répercussions catastrophiques sur les victimes Entre les années 1960 et 1980, une rafle légale qui a sévi aux États-Unis et au Canada a vu l'enlèvement à leurs familles de milliers d'enfants autochtones. Le but ? Inciter les communautés des Premières Nations, métisses et inuites à s'assimiler à la culture dominante. De gré ou de force. Un morceau peu glorieux de l'histoire nord-américaine, mais qui sert ici de colonne vertébrale à la série. Et c'est là que Little Bird puise toute sa puissance émotionnelle : dans la représentation de la violence affective qu'ont subi les enfants qui, du jour au lendemain, se sont retrouvés sans repères familiaux et, par ricochet, les stigmates psychologiques qu'ils ont dû surmonter dans leur vie d'adulte. Esther (Darla Contois) a été chanceuse en ayant grandi au sein de la famille Rosemblum, dont la mère est jouée brillamment par Lisa Edelstein (Lisa Cuddy dans Dr House), mais on peut imaginer que d'autres enfants n'ont pas eu cette même fortune ou cette même facilité à s'accoutumer à cette nouvelle vie. C'est à travers ce prisme que Little Bird devient un récit important qui remplit un vrai devoir de mémoire. D'ailleurs, les fans de séries historiques devraient, avec cette fiction canadienne créée par Jennifer Podemski et Hannah Moscovitch, découvrir une portion de l'histoire encore peu portée à l'écran. Une béance audiovisuelle qui a sans doute fortement touché Jennifer Podemski, showrunneuse de cette mini-série, anichinabée par sa mère et juive par son père, qui trouve, avec cette création, un moyen fort et intelligent de réparer cette injustice. [bs_show url="little-bird"] Les 6 épisodes de 45 min de Little Bird sont disponibles dès aujourd'hui, le 16 mai, sur Arte TV et seront diffusés le 23 mai, à partir de 20h55, pour une soirée entièrement consacrée à la série. Si vous êtes friands de séries historiques, n'hésitez pas à ajouter Little Bird sur votre profil Betaseries, directement sur le site ou depuis l'application disponible sur iOS et Android. L'édition 2025 de Séries Mania se déroulera du 21 au 28 mars !

Laura talks with Hannah, Maev, and Ann-Marie who are all working from home and mothering during isolation in Halifax, Toronto, and Lunenburg, N.S. The three women share how they wrote (and re-wrote and re-wrote) the story, why they wanted to complicate cheerful talk about motherhood and how damaging it is to keep women in the dark. "No one tells birth stories publicly or honestly."

Two months after giving birth to her son, a mothering app sends Hannah Moscovitch a tip: “Consider getting back in the sack with your husband, even if you don’t feel ready!”(Let's just say it didn't find her in the mood.) Together with friend and performer Maev Beaty, Hannah sets out to write the antithesis to the chirpy notification: the untold realities of motherhood and the taboo subjects that moms don’t openly share … starting with miscarriage.

Laura and Chris revisit the perfect play for summer, Bunny by Hannah Moscovitch. The play explores taboos of female sexuality when Sorrel, a grown-up married woman, finds herself alone in a canoe with a much younger man. She is wrestling with whether to give into her desires, or stick to what society expects for her.

Laura talks to award-winning playwright, Hannah Moscovitch about her haunting play, What A Young Wife Ought To Know. They discuss the inspiration for the piece, the birth control movement of the 1920s, and why a play set 100 years ago is so relevant today.

Then we sat in on the final presentations at the Arts Datathon, which brought a group of data experts together to mine and analyze information collected by arts and granting agencies in YEG.

In a life-affirming show woven from the true story of her great-grandparents, Canadian writer Hannah Moscovitch uses klezmer and drama to tell the tale of two refugees arriving in Nova Scotia in 1908, having fled the pogroms in Romania. Here Moscovitch reveals more about Old Stock: A Refugee Love Story, a double award-winning show (on the Edinburgh Fringe 2017) with real contemporary resonance and relevance from Canada’s 2b Theatre Company.

In February of 2016, the Director of the ExCITe Center, Youngmoo Kim, began collaborating with composer Lembit Beecher and librettist Hannah Moscovitch to create Sophia’s Forest: an opera that focuses on the interior world of a 9-year-old child, Sophia, who has recently immigrated to the United States. To evoke Sophia’s thoughts and memories, Youngmoo, working with architect Simon Kim and engineer Mark Yim of the University of Pennsylvania, created nine tree-like, sound-producing sculptures as part of the opera’s set. In this podcast we talk with the composer, Lembit Beecher, and two ExCITe Center collaborators who were integral to the sculptures' function, Rich Vallett and Scott DelPrato. Hosted by Alex Jones.

The cynical, skeptical daughter of a theoretical physicist and a composer, Sarah Jean's clinical approach to love meets with little success. In this absorbing drama infused with science and classical music, three exceptional minds collide like charged particles in an accelerator. Sarah Jean's hugely talented yet severely dysfunctional family will learn that love and time itself are connected in unimaginable ways. Infinity is the highly-anticipated NAC debut of Ottawa-raised Hannah Moscovitch, one of Canada's most exciting playwrights. “Infinity is one of those wonderful plays that make you feel smarter. The writing is clever and the performances are profound. And, having a pre-schooler at the time I saw the show, Sarah Jean's epic little girl tantrum made me cringe with delight!” – Jillian Keiley, Artistic director, NAC English Theatre
