Much Ado About Nothing - Vancouver

“As merry as the day is long.” Two of Shakespeare’s most tumultuous couples—sparring singles Beatrice and Benedick, and young lovers Claudio and Hero—discover all is not as it seems in an idyllic town recovering from war. Will the truth win in this mischievous game of love? Secret love, courtship, and marriage intertwine with darker themes of warfare, deception, and mischief in Much Ado About Nothing. Romance, wit, and mistaken identities power this new staging of Shakespeare’s beloved comedy full of colourful characters, passionate poetry, and Shakespeare’s wittiest wordplay.

By Lisa C. Ravensbergen At the IMPACT25 Festival

The Seventh Fire is an immersive, in-the-round audio performance that sources traditional, oral Anishinaabe stories and societal roles as a way to evoke ceremony in the everyday. The sound and the story are the somatic links to ancestral realms. The story takes place in the present, past, and future; above and below the earth. It follows disconnected sisters Daanis and Nimise, who reconnect on their ancestral territory. Their journey interweaves with that of Nokomis, their grandmother who raised them, as she lights her fires in the Spirit World.

A Neworld Theatre touring production.

In the near future, after the collapse of society as we know it, survivors gather around a campfire, trying to recall the Simpsons episode “Cape Feare”, seeking solace and entertainment. As time passes, that half-remembered episode, plus other fragments of pop culture, becomes the unlikely foundation for new forms of performance and a means of preserving the memory of a world long gone. Blending dark comedy, music, and theatrical experimentation, Mr. Burns, a post-electric play is a uniquely imaginative exploration of pop culture, storytelling, and what endures.

A red fleece vest. A lover’s pillow. A rabbit in the snow. In Here Here, 8 Vancouver writers contribute lyrics about their connection to the people, places, and things that make up home. Local composers Mishelle Cuttler and Molly MacKinnon shaped these words into songs that are in turns poignant, sexy, and sometimes hilarious. This collection of gorgeous tunes will be performed by a bespoke band of Vancouver faves, including Christine Quintana, Doug Gorkoff, Alan Ruiz, Sally Zori, and Cat Hiltz with an opening set from harpist/songwriter Elisa Thorn. From family histories to social anxieties, nature to migration, Here Here runs the gamut of story and style to offer a cohesive evening of reflections on ‘home’.
