Hipster students regularly attending underground event called football game
A group of McGill hipsters have once again found themselves ahead of the cultural curve after becoming regular spectators at an obscure event known as a football game.
According to U2 English Literature major Christine Coulter, it was only by pure chance that she and her friends discovered the intriguing ceremony.
“It was a Friday afternoon and we had gone up the mountain to get high,” explained Coulter. “Just as we were planning to head home to the Mile End, we heard these loud noises coming from the other way and it turned out to be this totally rad production that none of us had ever heard of.”
As it turns out, they weren’t the only ones.
“We checked to see if it was listed on Cult MTL or any other arts blogs, but it looks like we were some of the first people to hear about it,” she said, unable to contain the enormous grin on her face. “I don’t know why the audience was almost completely empty—it’s one of the most captivating creative displays I’ve ever seen.”
Even after returning for the second showing of the football game last week, the group is still familiarizing themselves with the stylistic components of the event.
“I think that sometimes the theatrical aspect of the show tends to stifle the interpretive dance, but the football game format still allows for a nice interplay between the two,” commented Dan Klestinec, U2 English Drama & Theatre. “I really have to hand it to the Redmen and their collaborative partners though; the intense binary struggle they’re able to bring to life—with one side just completely crushing the other—it’s one of the most powerful metaphors I’ve ever seen.”
“Oh, and their tight pants are really fresh, I’d love to get my hands on a pair,” he added.
The hipsters are especially looking forward to this weekend’s “Homecoming game.”
“I imagine that it’ll provide some sort of interpretation of Homer’s Odyssey,” said Klestinec, in reference to the Homecoming billing. “But I’ll be happy with whatever the Redmen have in store for us.”
