![The Bulletin: The raw energy of collisions, crossovers, and reinventions [Issue #122]](https://storage.ghost.io/c/00/e5/00e5bf23-2b72-4a48-92bb-496245b79d2a/content/images/2025/03/JETSAM@Turbo-Haus-2023-1.jpg)
Montreal can have such butt-ugly spring seasons that images of flowers breaking through the crust of the last winter's salt and dirt just doesn't feel right. But this weekend? It's just pulsing with a desire to create something new out of the familiar.
Whether it’s reworking old venues, remixing traditional meals, reclaiming dance floors, or rallying around community spaces like Bâtiment 7 in Pointe-Saint-Charles, there’s an undercurrent of shedding skins and starting fresh, together. Even the headlines—from tariff tensions to metro funding—hint at breaking points and rebuilding.
From the stage play Scorpio Moon and its story of fractured friendship and identity, to jazz jams and sugar shack reimaginings, to the quiet opening of Limbo in Little Italy and a new MMFA exhibition, there's a lot to dive into.
