Theatre Passe Muraille
“The Cello, relentless, eternal, infinite in its beauty. I want to drown in its sound” Wen and her friend Li-An are forever changed by their encounter with the Cellist, whose music unlocks all that was left unspoken. Co-created by Marjorie Chan and Njo Kong Kie, The Year of the Cello is told poetically, alongside live cello music culminating in a lament for loves lost, and a Hong Kong that once was.
Oct 20 – 22, 8PM EDT
The Fleck Dance Theatre
Inspired by the journey from adolescence to adulthood, the work embraces the stories of its creator and three emerging female performers, with the support of live pianist, Jeanie Chung, and emerging dramaturge, Dedra McDermott. Set in a wintry landscape in Quebec City, the work explores the interior lives of three young women on the cusp of adulthood, alternating between the utter wonderment and discovery of youth and the uncertainty and loneliness of adolescence. Don’t miss this Compagnie de la Citadelle production.
Nov 2 – 5, 8PM EDT
