Trans Day of Visibility
Monday, March 31 | 5-7 p.m.
Wriston Auditorium (224)
For this year’s Trans Day of Visibility, S. Bear Bergman will come to campus to perform his solo show “The First Jew in Canada,” the story of a young transgender man named Jacques LaFargue set off from France to what is now Quebec City, determined to make for himself a new life.
In a world quick to claim that trans identities are a modern phenomenon, Jacques’s story stands as a testament to the long, rich history of trans people. This show is not just a recounting of historical facts; it’s a Midrash—an exploration of the “whys” and the silences in between. It is a celebration of lineage—or yichus—for those who’ve been told they have none.
“The First Jew in Canada” is more than just a performance; it’s an opportunity to connect with our past, understand our present, and imagine a more inclusive future. Whether you’re seeking knowledge, kinship, or simply a compelling story, this event promises to enlighten, engage, and inspire.
