THIS SATURDAY – Interpreted Performance: REVOLVER FESTIVAL: GEOLOGIC FORMATIONS
“rEvolver Festival: Geologic Formations”
SPECIAL PERFORMANCES:
Saturday May 26th, 2018 2PM – Special ASL (American Sign Language) Interpreted Performance for Deaf and Hard of Hearing Audience Members
Where: The Cultch, Greenhouse Studio (1895 Venables St, East Vancouver)
Performance Summary:
A bold melding of immersive multidisciplinary performance, intimate personal narrative, and theory, Geologic Formations explores the present-unseen: the way socio-political events haunt the individual and collective body. Curious about her experience of the present-unseen – invisible chronic illness impacting the (myo)fascia, and the invisibilized intergenerational impacts of war, genocide and displacement, specifically the 1943 liquidation of the Bia?ystok Ghetto, Poland – mia susan amir, with collaborators, creates an interactive experience that crosses and collapses time and geography; to talk to ghosts; to decode what shapes our perceptions; to face the limits and possibilities of empathy. Historically inspired, Geologic Formations is a response to the contemporary rise of fascism.
About the rEvolver Festival: produced by Upintheair Theatre, rEvolver is an annual festival featuring works by emerging and early mid-career theatre artists from across Canada, with a focus on adventurous and innovative new performance.
Note: Contains adult content, and audience participation. Audience stands and moves for the performance (no seating). It’s not recommended for audiences under the age of 14.
Writer & Creator: mia susan amir
Collaborating Director: Julie Hammond
Performers: mia susan amir, Raresh DiMofte, Sarah Ferguson, Lissa Neptuno, María Escolán Nuila, mischa shadloo
