According to The Globe and Mail, “[Carmen Aguirre's] story is the personal experience of a brave young woman evolving her understanding of herself and her place in the world, told with passion, personal insight, rich detail and humour… Something Fierce is raw, courageously honest and funny; an insightful journey into the formation of a revolutionary soul.”

Relephant Theatre: The Exquisite Hour

Posted in: Events, Granville Island, Theater, Vancouver

[Josue Laboucane, Nevada Yates Robart]

“Are you satisfied with what you know?”

A simple question doesn’t always have a simple answer. This is the lesson learned on a late summer night in 1962 by confirmed bachelor Zachary Teale. Sweet like lemonade, but cut with a kick of bourbon, Stewart Lemoine’s The Exquisite Hour sees Teale’s world turned upside-down after meeting a lovely (and mysterious) woman. One lovely hour plays out in real time as the alluring Helen Darimont leads Zachary to question knowledge, imagination, and the value of time.

[Nevada Yates Robart, Josue Laboucane]

The 2010 Vancouver International Fringe Festival hit is back. The Relephants are looking to put a little spring in your step, and add a little summer to your spring with the anticipated remount of The Exquisite Hour. I caught one of the 2010 Fringe Festival performances and look back on its sweet and seemingly innocent story line with great fondness.

[Josue Laboucane, Nevada Yates Robart]

The Exquisite Hour sold out multiple performances and was shortlisted for the Pick of the Fringe, Georgia Straight Critics’ Choice Award, and the Cultchivating the Fringe Award for the 2010 Vancouver International Fringe Festival.

Originally scheduled to perform as part of the Vancouver Playhouse Theatre Company’s inaugural Recital Hall Series in the 2011/2012 season, the production was cancelled after the Playhouse’s sad and sudden closure on March 10. The production was quickly moved from the Vancouver Playhouse Recital Hall to the Revue Stage on Granville Island, and rescheduled for a May run.

Co-producer Steven Greenfield was blown away by the generosity of other members in the industry. “The community truly stepped up in our hour of need. When the announcement was made, our group was at a loss of what to do. We knew that the show had to happen – we had everything lined up, and had been planning it for over a year. We needed to find a home for it. We are extremely grateful for the assistance we’ve received from the Arts Club Theatre Company, as well as other members of the community.”

Director Julie McIsaac is eager to bring this show back to Vancouver audiences. “We’re inviting audiences to come spend this very special hour with us… it’s a garden party, it’s a quirky comedy, it’s a tender tale of those tiny tragedies that shut us down, and of the simple questions that can open us up.”

Emerging actor Nevada Yates Robart will step into Helen’s shoes (and vivacious beehive glory); Jessie-nominated actor Josue Laboucane will play quiet bachelor Zachary. Thanks to set and costume designer Jessie van Rijn, lighting designer Ian Schimpf, and sound designer Steven Greenfield, the Relephants will sprinkle their own brand of whimsical magic at the Revue Stage on Granville Island. The traditional theatre space will be transformed into a 1960’s backyard party, complete with glasses of ice cold lemonade for the audience.

Come on over! The grass is green, the air is warm, the lemonade is spiked (well, bourbon is available for those who want an extra kick!). A lovely, hilarious and surprisingly surprising slice of an hour, in a day, in a life. It’s the very best place to be.

The Exquisite Hour
Dates: May 1 to 12: Tuesday to Sunday, 8 pm; Saturday matinees at 2 pm; Sunday matinees at 4 pm
Venue: The Revue Stage, 1601 Johnston Street, Granville Island
Tickets: $22 (1/2 price preview on May 1, 8 pm). Purchase tickets either online or by phoning the box office at 604.629.8849.

Bard on the Beach’s 2012 Lineup

Posted in: Events, Theater, Vancouver

[Lois Anderson, John Murphy in The Taming of the Shrew]

Tickets for the Bard on the Beach Shakespeare Festival go on sale March 19, kicking off the 23rd season of Vancouver’s most popular summer festival. Bard returns to Vancouver’s Vanier Park from May 31 to September 22. The 2012 season launches with two productions on the BMO Mainstage.

First up is the lively romantic comedy The Taming of the Shrew, directed by Meg Roe. Playing in repertory with The Taming of the Shrew is the dark, powerful drama Macbeth, directed by Miles Potter. The BMO Mainstage is located in the 742-seat Mainstage Theatre tent, specially built in 2011 to offer technical improvements, greater comfort, and increased seating capacity for Bard audiences.

[Ashley Wright in Merry Wives of Windsor]

In the intimate 240-seat Douglas Campbell Studio Stage tent, Johnna Wright will direct The Merry Wives of Windsor, set in 1968 Windsor, Ontario, while Bard Associate Artistic Director Dean Paul Gibson helms a rare production of the medieval tale King John, presented in repertory with Merry Wives.

[Bob Frazer, Colleen Wheeler in Macbeth]

The 2012 productions prove again the timeless appeal and unparalleled dramatic range of Shakespeare’s plays. The Taming of the Shrew centres on Kate and Petruchio, two eccentric lovers who use their wits as weapons as their comic love-hate relationship unfolds. In the iconic tragedy Macbeth, three witches’ prophesies trigger the downfall of a great lord and his lady, in a classic tale of betrayal and murder. The Merry Wives of Windsor revolves around the utterly charming rogue Sir John Falstaff, whose weakness for women leads him into hilarious misadventures.

[Lucas Gustafson in King John]

In King John, the crown of England is the prize as a usurping king, his innocent young nephew, a heroic ‘bastard’ and a passionate mother all vie for our sympathies.

Here’s a list of the performance dates as well as special events:

The Taming of the Shrew: May 31 to September 22 (BMO Mainstage)
Macbeth: June 13 to September 20 (BMO Mainstage)
The Merry Wives of Windsor: June 28 to September 21 (Studio Stage)
King John: July 11 to September 19 (Studio Stage)
Bard Explored: Lecture Series June 23, July 14, August 11 and 25
Celebrating Red and White: August 18. Wine tasting following the matinee performance and before the evening show
Nuit d’amour: August 27 and September 3. French Opera highlights (Opera & Arias): UBC Opera Ensemble & members of Vancouver Opera Orchestra, hosted by Christopher Gaze:

Bard on the Beach is Western Canada’s largest professional Shakespeare company, led by Artistic Director Christopher Gaze. Performances run Tuesdays through Sundays. Evening curtain is at 8 pm, except Sunday evenings and from September 5 and onward, when curtain moves one hour earlier to 7 pm. Matinees are presented on selected weekends and weekdays.

The Lost Gospel Ensemble: The Meal

Posted in: Events, Music, Theater, Vancouver

Pacific Theatre is proud to present Rick Maddocks’ The Meal, a guest production by The Lost Gospel Ensemble. It’s The Last Supper as told through a funky, theatrical new song cycle inspired by the Gospels of John, Thomas, Judas and Mary Magdalene, and Luis Buñuel’s provocative film The Exterminating Angel. Featuring four singers, one for each of the four gospels that inspired the work, The Meal is unique in its approach to story telling.

In fact, the piece was a bit of a surprise, even to composer Rick Maddocks. “Words and music were welded together into a form that actually surprised me: a sort-of opera, a reimagining of gospel music that bridges different forms such as folk, jazz, country, rock and even poor-man’s classical.”

Maddocks identifies himself as a non-Christian. Reflecting on his motivation for creating this show, “The Meal tries to reimagine our world as if it’s on the threshold of a spiritual and political movement without a name. Something primitive and strange and mysterious, and wide open to interpretation.”

Featured on stage are some of Vancouver’s hottest up-and-coming indie music stars including Lucien Durey (vocals), Sean Fulton (keyboards), Jody Glenham (vocals), Stephen Lyons (drums), Rick Maddocks (composer/vocals), Caleb Stull (vocals), and Jon Wood (bass). The Meal is directed by Richard Wolfe (The Busy World is Hushed).

Named one of the best Vancouver concerts of 2011:  “Intensely spiritual and potent choral indie folk that is fortunately being remounted with new material and members at Pacific Theatre this year.” ~ Stuart Derdyn, The Province

The Lost Gospel Ensemble is a secular group that challenges the boundaries of gospel music. Featuring four singers and a dynamic trio of drums, bass and organ, the ensemble is drawn from Vancouver’s indie pop, folk, alt-country and jazz scenes.

The ensemble was initially formed to perform Rick Maddocks’s The Meal at the 2011 PuSh Festival but has since gone on to record a studio version of The Meal” (soon to be released) and is happy to be restaging the production at Pacific Theatre this April.

The Meal
Dates: April 11 to 14: Wednesday to Saturday, 8 pm; Saturday 2 pm matinee; Friday 10:30 pm late night performances
Venue: Pacific Theatre, 1440 West 12th Avenue (at Hemlock Street), Vancouver
Tickets: $16.50 to $29.50 (plus HST). To reserve tickets, phone 604.731.5518 or visit the Pacific Theatre website.

Pacific Theatre’s Doubt, a Parable

Posted in: Theater, Theater Reviews, Vancouver

[Giovanni Mocibob and Kaitlin Williams]

If you’ve seen John Patrick Shanley’s 2007 film, Doubt, starring Meryl Streep, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Amy Adams and Viola Davis, then this story will be familiar. Doubt, a Parable confronts several themes: trust, suspicion, intolerance and conviction.

In this Pacific Theatre production, Sister Aloysius gets the play’s best lines by far. Erla Faye Forsyth brilliantly pulls off her conservative, orderly character, balancing Sister James (well played by Kaitlin Williams) as the young, bright-eyed teacher who just wants to look out after her students and see them do well. Oddly enough, from our vantage point, Kaitlin Williams slightly resembles Amy Adams (who played the same role in the film).

[Giovanni Mocibob]

When Father Flynn, a progressive priest at the school, takes Donald Muller (the only black student) under his wing, suspicious Sister Aloysius attempts to disrupt the entire school by trying to dishonor his name. No matter what Father Flynn says to her, the stern nun is convinced of wrong doing and stops at nothing until she has her way. Giovanni Mocibob (as Flynn) does a wonderful job of being the priest who can both inspire and nurture, while teaching valuable lessons of love and devotion in the school.

I enjoyed the intimate stage setting that a small, independent theatre like the Pacific can bring to this Pulitzer prize-winning play. The audience is seated on both sides of the set that serves as a church, school office, and school garden throughout the two act play. Each of the acts starts with Father Flynn giving a sermon. At first I thought that the slow tempo of the first act’s sermon would set off the rest of the play’s pace, but I was proven wrong by the comic moments throughout the rest of that act. The second act is decidedly more serious as Donald Muller’s mother meets with Sister Aloysius. Leslie Lewis Sword appears perfectly dressed in 60′s period costume, affecting a gentle Southern accent. She does a fine job of convincing Sister Aloysius that her son belongs in a school where he can be cared for, if even by one man, as her own husband isn’t very loving to their son.

Following the 2004 New York production, Shanley went on to adapt the story for film. The story of Doubt was not inspired by the Catholic Church and its scandals, but rather by the simple concept of doubt itself. As an interesting sidebar, the character of young Sister James was based on one of Shanley’s childhood teachers. Shanley intentionally set the play to 1964, when the whole world seemed to be going through what he calls some kind of vast puberty. “Doubt requires more courage than conviction, and more energy, because conviction is a resting place and doubt is infinite. It is a passionate exercise.”

In the end, Sister Aloysius has her own doubts about what her actions have done to change the outcome at her school. Luckily for her, she has the comfort and warmth of Sister James at her side when her support is most welcomed.

Doubt is directed by Ron Reed, Pacific Theatre’s Artistic and Executive Director. The 105 minute (with one 15 minute intermission) play runs through March 31. Visit the website for more details and ticket information.

Van Playhouse + The Cultch: Hunchback

Posted in: Theater, Theater Reviews, Vancouver

[Ava Markus, Robert Markus, and Molly Flood]

I’d seen the 1939 film years back, but had yet to see a stage production of Hunchback. Although Victor Hugo’s 1831 novel “The Hunchback of Notre Dame” has been re-adapted numerous times for the stage, ballet (and Disney), I’m certain that audiences haven’t seen a production quite like this before.

[Ron Pederson]

A production of Alberta’s Catalyst Theatre, now on through March 10 at the Vancouver Playhouse Theatre, Hunchback takes a decidedly futuristic approach to the traditional costumes and stage sets of past Hunchback of Notre Dame productions. Jonathon Christenson serves triple duty having written, directed, and composed this version of the classic tale.

The darkly romantic musical set amongst the buttresses and shadows of Notre Dame’s cathedral, Hunchback’s tale of a tormented priest, a beautiful dancer, and a deformed bell ringer is told through brightly coloured arches hinting at the cathedral’s structure, brought together by a talented cast and stage crew.

[Scott Walters and Ava Markus]

The three hour (including one intermission) musical is well developed through song, the narration of Jeremy Baumung‘s Pierre Gringoire, and the unique costumes and props created by Bretta Gerecke, Sheena Haug, Amy Kucharuk, and Daniela Masellis. Alberta’s Citadel Theatre is responsible for that gorgeous set, allowing movement of all characters, short and tall.

[Scott Walters and Jeremy Baumung]

Themes of loneliness, unrequited love, and despair trickle through the main three characters, La Esmeralda (Ava Jane Markus), Frollo the Priest (Scott Walters), and Quasimodo (Ron Pederson), the latter brilliantly pulling off both a crippled hunchback and a deaf person. All three leads are fantastic, particularly Scott Walters’ vocal talent. Towards the end of the first act, his hatred and sadness are so strongly felt during one particular number that it brought me to tears. My guest had the same experience to share after Thursday’s opening performance.

If you’re a Blade Runner fan, this production is for you. The overall atmosphere of the musical is futuristic and goth at the same time. The musical numbers do hark back to the 80′s, and rather than a tired Quasimodo appearing with the hunch packing inside his shirt, he’s now sporting an exterior rounded vertebrae, from our vantage point almost resembling a space-age back pack.

[Beth Graham and Ava Markus]

Get out and enjoy this production, as it’s a far cry from Disney and worth the admission for both the talented cast and creative team at Catalyst. Hunchback is a co-presentation of The Cultch and the Vancouver Playhouse Theatre.

Tickets are available online, by phone (604.873.3311), or in person at the theatre box office (Monday to Friday, 10 am to 5 pm).

Special shows include post-performance talkbacks with the cast (February 27 and March 6), and a Salon Saturday pre-performance talk at 1 pm (March 3).

Madrid: Gastrofestival and Beyond

Posted in: Books, Dining, Events, Fine Art, Movies, Museums, Theater, Travel

Madrid = tapas. Tapas = Madrid. Or so it would seem on any given day. We had the excellent fortune to be in town for the annual Gastrofestival that ended last week in the capital. The two week festival featured both 25 and 40 Euro dinners. A third option was the more deluxe 75 Euro “Dine with the Stars” menu.

As well, 66 bars opened their doors with a special 3 Euro tapa and Mahou beer offering, though we didn’t limit ourselves to Gastofestival-specific tapas establishments.

In addition, gastronomy in painting, film, theatre and books offered culinary adventures away from the traditional restaurant and bar atmosphere.

Throughout our stay, we checked out various bars to try the regional tapas. We came across estado puro, a tapas bar featuring two Michelin-starred Chef Paco Roncero’s creations.

[estado puro]

We wound up eating at the Calle San Sebastian location twice, it was that good.

Madrid also has a Museo de Jamon for hard-core Iberian ham lovers.

Extended family took us to Fatigas del Querer in the Calle de la Cruz for more of that wonderful, paper-thin delicacy, along with other tapas. Pitchers of sangria came along for the ride.

Back in our barrio (Tirso de Molina), it was hard to choose from the abundance of Indian restaurants lining Calle Lavapiés.

Another excursion brought us to Mercado San Miguel, where we tasted divine macarons and perused the seafood, olives, and other delicacies. We later stumbled upon another market in the Chueca district, the Mercado de San Antonio.

And to top off any meal, head for churros y chocolate at Chocolatería de San Ginés, recently voted #8 in National Geographic’s top 10 guide of best places to indulge in chocolate in the world. After having had churros in other Madrid locales, San Gines’ dipping chocolate was by far the tastiest.

Hungry yet?
