PuSh Festival & Chan Centre for the Performing Arts Present Bang on a Can All-Stars

By zquinn on November 23, 2008 - 4:19pm

Feb 8, 8pm
The Chan Centre

Bang on a Can founders Michael Gordon, David Lang and Julia Wolfe are part of a new generation of virtuosic and passionate performers that make new music come alive. When they assembled the Bang on a Can All-Stars in 1992, they had three goals: the group needed to be able to cross musical boundaries, be at home with many styles and technologies, and be great. Part rock band and part amplified chamber group, the ensemble incorporates cello, keyboard, electric guitar, bass, and drums to blur the lines between classical and pop ensembles and give voice to a huge range of musical styles. Each player is completely at home with new music but has lived somewhere else as well—collaborating with Yo-Yo Ma, leading a gamelan, backing Mikhail Baryshnikov, touring with Paul Simon and Bob Dylan. The players bring their otherworldly experiences back to their lives with the All-Stars, and their mixing creates an intense, hard rocking approach to performance that no other group can match.

PuSh Festival presents Assembly (Radix Theatre)

By zquinn on November 24, 2008 - 9:32pm

Feb 4 - 7, 9pm; Feb 7 & 8, 4pm
Granville Island Hotel

Assembly confronts the desire for unity in an increasingly divided world. Presented in a hotel conference room, Assembly offers a wild and weird exploration of what it means to be human, with many laughs along the way. Four motivational speakers share their secrets for becoming whole in a seminar that gradually falls apart, then shatters altogether. With captivating staging and stirring original text, Assembly subverts expectations from beginning to end, as Radix remembers what getting together is all about.

Winner of the 2007 Vancouver Critics’ Choice Award for Innovation and a Jessie Richardson Award for Performance by an Ensemble. Selected as one of the top 12 performance events of 2007 by The Georgia Straight, Assembly will be featured at the National Arts Centre in April as part of BC Scene.

Based in Vancouver, Radix has been producing innovative and exciting performance events since 1988. Our mandate is to foster the creation and production of original, socially relevant interdisciplinary performance work with a focus on experimentation and collaborative creation. The company is currently steered by Andrew Laurenson, who works with a team of artistic associates in developing company direction and projects.

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.

PuSh Festival presents Live from a Bush of Ghosts

By zquinn on December 2, 2008 - 10:21pm

Feb 4–15, 7pm; Feb 8, 4pm
Studio 16

Live from a Bush of Ghosts is a ghost story for the digital age. Spirits arise from the toxic smoke of First World electronic trash dumped in the developing world. A boy lured by an internet predator, an elderly online gambling addict, a suicidal stockbroker, and a heavy metal televangelist— these are some of the ghosts haunting a woman who melts down computer components to retrieve precious metals for pennies a day. With music inspired by Brian Eno and David Byrne’s seminal recording My Life in the Bush of Ghosts, Theatre Conspiracy delves into the fallout of our electronic culture. Electronic band No Luck Club performs along with live video mixes by Candelario Andrade as dancer/actor Tara Cheyenne Friedenberg creates multiple roles to bring alive a ghostworld that is a physical, visual, sonic feast for the senses.
