]]> This new commission by internationally acclaimed playwright Marie Clements (The Unnatural and Accidental Women) traces the journey of uranium rock from Northern Canada – embedded in Sahtu Dene – through water, over land, and into fire: the bomb that was dropped on Hiroshima. Both tragic and irreverent, Burning Vision weighs the burdens of our ancestors as they travel through time, across continents and in our genes to cast shadows on the present. Developed in partnership with the Banff Playwrights Colony and Playwrights’ Workshop Montreal.

Burning Vision received five Jessie Richardson Theatre Award nominations, including one for Outstanding Production.

]]> “Who has not, when standing with someone by an abyss or high up on a tower, had a sudden impulse to push them over?” – Henrik Ibsen

The Vancouver East Cultural Centre and Rumble Productions joined together to produce a new look at a classic theatrical work: Henrik Ibsen’s Hedda Gabler. Adapted by renowned British playwright John Osborne, Hedda Gabler reaches beyond its late nineteenth-century setting to reveal a surprisingly contemporary view into the complexities of human relations. A character tragedy unlike any other in modern drama, Hedda Gabler is the great dramatist’s most controlled and ruthless work, a play whose impact has not lessened since its premiere in 1890.

The production earned five Jessie Richardson Theatre Awards nominations

At the centre of the 1950s Beat circle, William S. Burroughs and Brion Gysin worked tirelessly to build the enigmatic Dream Machine, a device that used flickering light to alter brain waves and plunge the user into a waking dream state, free from the influences of advertising and mass culture. Blending live and electronic music, haunting visuals and One Yellow Rabbit’s trademark physicality, Dream Machine is a radical departure from both the traditional theatre musical and the conventional biopic.

]]> White Mice https://rumble.org/shows/white-mice/ Mon, 12 Jun 2023 20:25:56 +0000 https://rumble.org/?post_type=show&p=913 A black comedy about the white race

The post White Mice appeared first on Rumble.

]]> A black comedy about the white race, White Mice tells the tale of two white-furred mice, Robert and Douglas, as they come to terms with their own whiteness. As roommates, the mice have led peaceful and complacent lives—up to the time Robert starts to gnaw at the knowledge that they’re poster boys for the white supremacist society in which they live. Douglas is initially freaked out by Robert’s revelations, only to discover that both have been systematically lied to and brainwashed about mice of other colours. Could it be true? Could it be that the white race is a capitalist construction employed to divide, conquer and exploit other less desirable mice?

White Mice was nominated for six Dora Mavor Moore awards, including Outstanding New Play, Outstanding Production and Outstanding Design.
