“You’ll understand what happiness is.”

This will be the first made-in-Alberta production of this ground breaking musical. We’ll transform our theatre into a gigantic back alley of feline proportions!

May 4, 2012 Running until May 27th
By seeking to stimulate collective-memory through a short nostalgic narrative of the fairytale Jack and the Beanstalk, Calgary-based artist Erin Belanger showcases how a simplistic fable can operate on a deep level to reveal universal truths. Participants are encouraged to question what is truly of value to them by playfully bartering for some enchanted beans.
The Uses of Enchantment is a fun, interactive exhibition to remind people that magic does exist in the world. Through horticulture graffiti, Belanger investigates nostalgia, collections and the artificial as a means of access to collective-memory. Website: www.epcorcentre.org/ |
