| dbo:abstract | Le quartier du Red Light de Montréal ou Quartier Lumière Rouge de Montréal, parfois appelé le Red Light de Montréal, est une zone géographique de Montréal où les cabarets et les commerces illicites étaient actifs dès le milieu du XIXe siècle, mais surtout entre 1925 et le début des années 1960. Le terme Red Light (« lumière rouge » en français) rappelle les anciennes lanternes aux portes des maisons closes. Le commerce du jeu, les débits de boisson illégaux et le proxénétisme ont marqué l'histoire de ce lieu, aussi liée à la prohibition aux États-Unis et au caractère portuaire de la ville. Au début du XXIe siècle, on retrouve encore trace de ce type de commerces, mais de façon beaucoup plus discrète et modérée. Les spectacles de variétés qui émaillaient la vie du quartier mettaient en vedette plusieurs artistes étrangers et le quartier fut le point de départ pour plusieurs artistes québécois. Il reste encore aujourd'hui quelques bars de danseuses et cabarets dans le quartier, comme le Café Cléopâtre, menacé en 2009 par un projet de réhabilitation du quadrilatère Saint Laurent, lié au projet du Quartier des spectacles. (fr) The Red-Light District (French: Quartier du Red Light) of Montreal, Quebec, Canada was formerly centred on the intersection of Saint Laurent Boulevard and Saint Catherine Street in the borough of Ville-Marie. The neighbourhood has historically been home to cabarets and illegal businesses as early as the mid-19th century, but especially between 1925 and early 1960s. The term Red Light recalls the old lantern on the doors of brothels. Gambling, illicit taverns, and prostitution have marked the history of this area, also related to prohibition in the United States and Montreal's status as a port city. Today, there are still traces of this type of activity, but it is much more discreet. The variety shows that took place in the neighbourhood launched the careers of several foreign artists and was equally the starting point for many local artists. There still remain some strip clubs and cabarets in the area, such as the Café Cleopatre, threatened with demolition in 2009 by an urban renewal project linked to the nearby Quartier des spectacles. The Montreal Pool Room fast-food restaurant is also located there. (en) |
