SUMMARY:Fatamorgana
DESCRIPTION:ABOUT THE PLAY:\nFATAMORGANA is an oneiric tale for adults\, spoken in the language of children. Shadow puppetry and object theatre performance\, visual art experiment\, analog projection. Using flashlights\, prisms\, recycled objects\, paper marionettes\, and performers’ bodies\, the piece mirrors the mirage—ephemeral visions hovering between reality and imagination. Conjuring a silent\, hypnotic narrative about creation\, destruction\, and fragile beauty of life\, it takes the spectators on a journey through the birth and unraveling of worlds\, from the fusion of first atoms to the fragmentation of modern existence and back. \nABOUT THE COMPANY:\nFatamorgana is an independent theatre collective\, a group of Ukrainian and Polish itinerant artists\, culture animators and managers. Our project\, inspired by the need for beauty in theatre\, began seven years ago in Poland. It is the result of long-standing friendship\, years of creative collaboration\, and a shared curiosity. We explore drama\, puppetry\, shadow puppets and visual art\, object theatre and up-cycle theatre\, producing exclusively original performances. Our work is rooted in the alternative and independent theatre traditions of Poland. We believe that theatre is a form of social commentary\, and can be a catalyst for social transformation\, sparking dialogue and connection. We create not to entertain only but to provoke thought\, to offer moments of reflection\, to inspire change\, to inspire action. \nCAST:\nOleh Nesterov\, Nikon Miedviediev\, Paula Mac

SUMMARY:Sugarcane
DESCRIPTION:Join us this weekend as we kick of the Summer Solstice and National Indigenous People’s Day with the Oscar Nominated Documentary\, Sugarcane at 7PM tonight\, Saturday\, June 21st \nA stunning tribute to the resilience of Indigenous people and their way of life\, SUGARCANE\, the debut feature and Oscar-nominated documentary from Julian Brave NoiseCat and Emily Kassie\, is an epic cinematic portrait of a community during a moment of international reckoning. In 2021\, evidence of unmarked graves was discovered on the grounds of an Indian residential school run by the Catholic Church in Canada. After years of silence\, the forced separation\, assimilation and abuse many children experienced at these segregated boarding schools was brought to light\, sparking a national outcry against a system designed to destroy Indigenous communities. Set amidst a groundbreaking investigation\, SUGARCANE illuminates the beauty of a community breaking cycles of intergenerational trauma and finding the strength to persevere. \n“Stunning in every sense of the word\, the new documentary film explores the lasting pain caused by a culture of silence in the Catholic church.” \n– Rohan Naahar\, The Indian Express \n“Sugarcane is as harrowing as it is vital. It’s a remarkably explicit consideration of intergenerational trauma that manages to center specific suffering without forgoing any aspects of the conditions that birthed such violence.” \n– Kyle Logan\, Chicago Reader

SUMMARY:LARRY
DESCRIPTION:Since we first heard about this award-winning hit show\, we’ve been keen to bring Canadian Clown Artist Candy Roberts to the Sunset stage: she’s fucking brilliant\, and we are lucky to have her. \n(Yes\, we used the F-word\, because this show is for adults.) \nRoberts assumes her alter ego\, LARRY\, in this daring and comedic piece about one dude’s hilarious attempt at self improvement. With rock and roll\, a little “life-couching”\, and a dip into his own psyche\, LARRY uncovers a little more than anyone expected. \nCulled lovingly from the male archetypes that surrounded her during her upbringing\, LARRY helps Candy compassionately examine the limitations of the gender binary\, aging as a woman in society\, and the complexities of being human. \nThis show is for anyone who is\, or knows a woman. Gear-down Big-Rig\, you just might bust a gut and shed a tear! \n(This show is adult-oriented\, recommended ages +18)
