May 25, 2012 This tour-de-force performance won Betty Mitchell Awards for Best Actor (Christopher Hunt) and Best Director (Vanessa Porteous).
In 1650 the Puritans have closed the theaters and old Jack Rice, once a famous actor, is now is down on his luck. As a boy, he performed in Shakespeare's troupe, and he’s snuck back into the deserted theatre for some shelter. He himself is nothing more than a dusty, abandoned scrap of humanity - but his memory can take us to Queen Elizabeth’s palace, to the opening night of King Lear, and everywhere in between.
As an aging artist lost in a world that has moved on, Jack Rice speaks to the need for beauty and meaning in a world that sometimes lacks both. Website: www.shakespearecompany.com |

May 25, 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/ |
