A Month of Tuesdays returns to the Cellar Restaurant & Jazz Club (3611 West Broadway @ Dunbar). Comprised entirely of traditional plucked Chinese instruments, Red Chamber is an impassioned ensemble that spends as much time reflecting on the ancient sounds of the Imperial Court as they do exploring the realms of bluegrass, jazz, and new music. Pushing the boundaries of their instruments, this fiery all-female ensemble performs with unparalleled power and fervour.

Chunky Move Artistic Director Gideon Obarzanek and German interactive software engineer Frieder Weiß have together created an intimate interactive solo performance in which the motion of the human body is used to trigger and control music, lighting and animation. A digital landscape is generated in real time in response to the dancer’s movement, with the body’s gestures extended by and in turn manipulating the surrounding video world.
The relationship between the light and graphics and the human body changes throughout Glow. At first the dancer seems to control the magical display of light and geometric patterns, but gradually it becomes difficult to separate the elements of body and light, as movement, graphics and sound powerfully meld into a single entity. Then eerily, projected shadows take on a dramatic form of their own and begin to impact on the dancer’s behaviour.
Palace Grand is a unique solo show which takes place in a theatre within the theatre: a miniature vaudeville stage which floats in space, inhabited by a single oppressed actor. An utterly physical evocation of an ill-fated expedition and a reliquary of sublimely beautiful and iconic artifacts from a mythic northern terrain, the play investigates a uniquely human condition: cacoethes scribendi—the incurable passion for writing. A sort of Yukon Heart of Darkness, Palace Grand cuts deep into the northernmost reaches of Canada on the trail of two men: Walker, a writer who disappears into the wilderness and The Tracker, a bounty hunter hired to find him. Together the two represent separate halves of a single narrative. What remains of this narrative is brought to life by a third man, The Operator of a remote transmitting station whose presence has little to do with their story, but without whom it would be lost.
Caught somewhere between Beckett and Chaplin and taking the mythic Klondike gold rush as its setting, this delirious snowbound fantasy reminds us of our frightening ever present quest for self. The play won three Jessie Awards for Performance, Set Design and Lighting in 2004. This PuSh-commissioned presentation reimagines the critically acclaimed original production.
In the summer of 2005 actor/writer James Long salvaged a collection of seven photo albums and travel journals from an alley near his East Vancouver home. What started as a simple trip to the country carried the creators on narrative jags across propriety, oceans, and beyond.
