A puppet show about the expansion of the tar sand industry in Canada will be performing in Montreal next week. The Tar Sands Dragon Opera is a shadow and marionette puppet show which is beautiful, absurd and understated and is touring communities affected by the proposed transportation of "tar sand oil" from Sarnia Ontario to Sherbrooke Quebec. CKUT spoke with Daphne Ben-David from Climate Justice Montreal who is helping organize the puppet performances. You can find all the info on the performances at Birdbonetheatre.wordpress.com. This segment was aired on CKUT's news program Off the Hour on Friday, February 21st.
