PuSh Festival presents The Invisible

By zquinn on November 24, 2008 - 10:02pm

Feb 3 - 7, 7:30pm
Frederic Wood Theatre at UBC

Marie Brassard returns to Vancouver with a theatrical exploration of appearance and disappearance, of the double and of otherness. The city of Berlin, ectoplasms (vaporous emanations of the body supposedly visible tomediums) and the literary hoax involving JT LeRoy, a writer dreamed up by a woman hoping to get published, provide Brassard with material to reflect on art and creation, on the porous boundary between the creator and the resultant creature.

In collaboration with Finnish artist Mikko Hynninen and composer and sound designer Alexander MacSween, the singular and yet very plural Marie Brassard bring minds and the bodies that live therein to life, making their ghostly voices resonate, rendering the invisible visible.

In June 2001, Brassard created her first one-woman show, Jimmy créature de rêve, a black surrealistic comedy which was a huge success and has, since then, been presented in many cities in Europe, America and Australia. That same year, she founded the production company Infrarouge. She's also its artistic director. In 2003, she created a show hinging on the themes of real estate development, exploitation and friendship; entitled La Noirceur, it was followed by Peepshow, staged in English in Toronto in May 2005, and in French in Montréal in June of that year.

Tickets $30.00/24.00

PuSh Festival & Artsclub Theatre Company present Skydive

By zquinn on November 24, 2008 - 10:10pm

Jan 21 - Feb 7, 8pm
Arts Club Theatre - Granville Island Stage

Matinee performances Saturdays @ 2pm

NO SHOW SUNDAYS

What would you risk to live out your dreams? A clear blue sky. From far above, the distant sound of a receding airplane. Two men, a house-bound agoraphobe desperate for change and his brother, the lead singer for an '80s cover band desperate for recognition, tumble at terminal velocity in the midst of a skydiving adventure gone terribly wrong.

Written by Governor General’s Award-winning playwright Kevin Kerr, Skydive is an action-adventure-comedy that pushes our limits of perception to the breaking point. Defying gravity in theatre by using Sven Johansson's ES Dance Instruments, Skydive literally raises the bar and makes a quadriplegic fly. This PuSh Festival-commissioned production returns for an extended run, following success on tour and critical acclaim.

Realwheels is a professional theatre company whose goal is to create and produce world-class art that deepens the audience’s understanding of the disability experience.

Billy Twinkle, Requiem for a Golden Boy

By zquinn on December 2, 2008 - 10:04pm

Presented by PuSh International Performing Arts Festival and
The Cultch

Jan 20 - Feb 8, 8pm
Waterfront Theatre

Billy Twinkle is a theatrical piece intended and created solely for a mature audience. Children under 14 will not be admitted.

Billy Twinkle is a middle-aged cruise ship puppeteer who dazzles audiences with his Stars in Miniature marionette niteclub act. His saucy stripper Rusty titillates the tourists, octogenarian Bunny invokes sidesplitting laughter with the inflatable balloon in his pants, Bumblebear juggles, roller-skates and steals the hearts of every audience, and society dame Biddy Bantam Brewster brings a bit of highbrow hilarity to the high seas with her drunken aria. Billy is the best in the business and on top of the world as he floats along through life.

Until he is fired by the cruiseline. Standing at the edge of the ship contemplating a watery demise, Billy is abruptly called back to reality when his dead mentor Sid Diamond appears as a hand puppet. Sid literally will not leave his side, and forces Billy to re-enact his life as a puppet show in order to remember and rekindle the passion Billy once had for puppets, people and the dream of a life that sparkles.
