Grand Acts of Theatre

Reframed

Electric Company Theatre (Vancouver, BC)
  Subtitles available in English French

Gathering dozens of performers in a natural environment, moving together in choreographed formations, Reframed gives poetic voice to online shorthand and emojis. 

In contrast to the isolation of reacting to information on a screen, the project aims to physically transform an escalating online discourse into a voiced expression of multiple perspectives.

As an examination of outrage and divisiveness, propelled and exacerbated by virtual algorithms, Reframed poses the question: “How do we engage?”

Produced in association with Vancouver New Music, Dance House and Vancouver Civic Theatres. Special Thanks to Bard on the Beach and BC Bike Fest.

Reframed was performed for a live audience on Wednesday, October 7, 2020 in Vancouver, BC.  This live performance adheres to the health and safety guidelines of the region in which it was recorded.
