The Vancouver international PuSh festival brings the weird, creative and thought-provoking minds of artists and audiences together with visual, multi-platform, original live performance pieces.
If you’re looking for something different, something to not quite understand/talk about with your friends the next day, you’ll definitely want to see a PuSh performance, and we can recommend LA Party/An Evening with William Shatner Asterisk.
L.A. Party
Conceived by New York theatre artist Phil Soltanoff, L.A. Party turns our audio visual sensors upside down. The storyteller has the mic, the performance is synced by a performer on the floor and the screen in which the performance is projected is on the third performers white t-shirt.
The story revolves around a fanatical vegan who attends a Party, in L.A., and experiments with the vices he so deliberately cleaned from. The 5 minute monologue at the very end still has us shaking our heads.
Part two: Evening with William Shatner Asterisk
Hundreds (thousands maybe) of clips of Star Trek’s Captain Kirk were meticulously cut together in this mind bending digital monologue that explores art and science. And phenomenon (I wonder how many times he said phenomenon, at least 20).
L.A. Party / An Evening with William Shatner Asterisk is part of the PuSh Performing Arts Festival, which runs until February 2, 2014. Get your tickets here.
