2BOYS.TV ~ talk + performance workshop

Based in Montréal, 2boys.tv consists of the transdisciplinary duo Stephen Lawson and Aaron Pollard (also notoriously known in some circles as alter egos Gigi L’Amour and Pipi Douleur).  Together they have created and toured, nationally and internationally, a wide repertoire of epic multimedia cabaret works, performances, videos and installations. Their full-length performance work, ZONA PELLUCIDA, an inimitable blend of lip-synch, cinematic scores and original video projections, has toured across Canada, to Buenos Aires, and has been presented for month long runs in San Francisco and Toronto.

Individually and collectively their video art works and short cabaret performances have been presented in clubs, galleries, museums, theatres and festivals across North America as well as in Europe. In 2007, 2boys.tv premiered an elaborate installation work for la Biennale de Montréal and the same work will be presented again this spring at the international theatre festival TransAmérique (Montreal). The duo has also created small and large-scale performance interventions for the Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art, the Power Plant and the Scotiabank Nuit Blanche festival in Toronto. Their recent performance, PHOBOPHILIA, continues to tour across Canada and was recently presented as part of the National Review of Live Art in Glasgow, Scotland and the DEFORMES Biennale of Performance in Santiago, Chile.
