My Pregnant Brother is engaging portrait of life in dysfunctional family

The late Jean Drapeau, Montreal's love him or hate him mayor of the 1970s, was famously proven wrong after boasting in 1973 that "the Montreal Olympics can no more have a deficit than a man can have a baby."

Not only did the Big Owe, as Montreal's problematic Olympic Stadium was dubbed, spark a colossal deficit, Billy Crystal (Rabbit Test) and Arnold Schwarzennegger (Junior) also later demonstrated a man can give birth in bad movies, anyway. Her hour long solo show at the Uno Festival is an engaging, smartly conceived portrait of her life in a dysfunctional family, and the impact of being arbitrarily designated caregiver, particularly to her younger female to male transgendered brother who, to her paralyzing astonishment, became pregnant amid his transition a state he's woefully unprepared for.

Under Jeremy Taylor's steady, unobtrusive direction, Nutter captivates us from the start, when she literally draws her own set chalk drawings of Montreal's Le Plateau district, including renderings of Mount Royal, Park Avenue, Boulevard St. Laurent and Sherbrooke and St. Denis streets on a black stage, bare except for a white rocking chair and a red package.

Her white blouse and colourless polka dot skirt complement the show's black and white design scheme, yet there's nothing black and white about the material. It's blotted with shades of grey flecked with brightness as Nutter, a natural raconteur, effectively toggles between darkness and humour while relating her bizarre yet deeply personal true life tale.

Nutter's recollections of pronoun issues, a "transitional" period when she referred to her sister turned brother as her "sibling," or when she rationalizes the weirdness of his pregnancy "He's a man with a big beer belly" are particularly amusing.

"Gender confusion has its perks," she says, recalling how he somehow yellow gold cartier love ring replica scored a private hospital room cartier ring copy to give birth.

Nutter also deftly mines her one woman show's more heart wrenching potential, as when she recalls her "voiceless howl" in reaction to cartier love ring yellow replica her brother's most desperate decision. And the way she incorporates Montreal comparing the sound of a baby's heartbeat to the "thumps of a car going over Jacques Cartier Bridge," for instance has a kind of urban poetry to it.

Indeed, her descriptions of the family's physical world, where fake Cartier marriage ring her aging hippie mom would sculpt a replica of a holiday turkey out of brown rice, with carrots as drumsticks, are as potently evocative as her mimicry of her troubled brother's demeanour.

My Pregnant Brother is less about transgenderism, however, than gender identity, motherhood, family dynamics and other issues many should be able to relate to. While Nutter's tell it like it is piece could lose about 10 minutes of extraneous detail, such as her Zorba the Greek obsession, it's a potent reminder that fact can indeed be stranger than fiction.
