Portrait of J.B.
Written and directed by Jason Szalla
How do we face the brutality of fact, the agitated feverishness which is life? Portrait of J.B. puts forth a painting like a drug, the possibility of a state when everything is happening very quickly as life slows down, a mixture of consciousness and unconsciousness, of fear and pleasure.
The Barber of Saskatoon
Created by Jane Parrott and Rodrigo Cortes Guadarrama
Using live performers, puppets and music based on the original score of "The Barber of Seville", Figaro’s tale will be told through the less infamous story of “The Barber of Saskatoon” who in harsh conditions learns to make becoming wigs out of ordinary road kill.
