The Café Digital
Available through The Cultch and RE/PLAY

The Café is an immersive, site-specific theatre event. Nine commissioned playwrights have created seven original scenes to be performed at Kafka’s, on Great Northern Way in Vancouver. The scripts they’ve created incorporate a broad range of age, gender orientation, heritage, language, socio-economic status and lived-experience.

Unveiled
2017

Unveiled was a narrative composed of story fragments drawn from Iran’s revolutionary political movements of 1936, 1979 and 2009. Our protagonists were two women “caught up in the moment” of these societal upheavals. The focus was on the aftermath for those whom the 1979 revolution did not bring about the societal and political changes they desired, and how the repetition of a second attempted revolution thirty years after the first was a disappointing echo of the same experience.

Another Window
2017

Another Window is an annual cabaret featuring a diversity of talent and genres including music, spoken word, drag and more, produced by Neworld Theatre. The premise for this show is that Vancouver is just a big enough place that most of our cultural audiences are segmented into disciplines, genres and social identities. This event is designed to knock down these walls and build community in the process.

Aphotic Dream

Aphotic Dream was a multidisciplinary piece combining dance, text, lighting, surround audio system and music.
