Drama-rama

Our favourite avant-garde performing arts festival is back to bring us
wackiness and wonder before the Winter Games descend. Herewith, our pick
of the PuSh Festival plays:

The
Show Must Go On
In
the new SFU Woodwards building, 20 Vancouver locals bring to life
Parisian choreographer Jérôme Bels signature work, which The
New York Times called sly, witty, joyous fun.

Nevermore
Like
the sell-out production of Frankenstein Edmontons Catalyst
Theatre staged two years ago, their magical and macabre portrait of
Edgar Allan Poe promises to be an awe-inspiring spectacle.

Best
Before
The theatre transforms into a virtual world where
audience members with game controllers have avatars that affect the
action in this premiere piece from provocative Berlin company Rimini
Protokoll.

The PuSh International Performing Arts Festival runs January 20 to
February 6, 2010, for more information visit www.pushfestival.ca
