SUMMARY:Between Breaths | Firehall Arts Centre
DESCRIPTION:The Firehall Arts Centre is proud to present the Western Canadian premiere of Between Breaths from Wednesday\, November 12 to Sunday\, November 23\, 2025. \nInspired by a true story\, Between Breaths is a profound play that sails through the extraordinary life of Dr. Jon Lien – known to many as “The Whale Man” – who devoted his career to saving whales trapped in fishing nets off the coast of Newfoundland. Over the years\, he rescued more than 500 whales\, bridging the divide between science and the local fishing community with empathy and respect. But as the play traces Dr. Lien’s legacy\, it also reveals his most personal struggle: a battle with dementia that slowly threatened the very core of his identity. \nSet to a hauntingly beautiful live score by celebrated Newfoundland indie folk trio The Once\, Between Breaths is a powerful meditation on memory\, loss\, and the deep connections that endure even as everything else fades. It is a play about hope\, endings\, and the human spirit’s quiet resistance against disintegration.

SUMMARY:The Mush Hole
DESCRIPTION:The Cultch & Urban Ink present: The Mush Hole \nA theatrical dance performance about Canada’s first Indian residential school\, The Mohawk Institute\, a.k.a. The Mush Hole. From 1828 to 1970\, State and Church systems worked to sever Indigenous children from their families\, culture\, and language. Through the eyes of two generations of Survivors\, The Mush Hole evokes the raw\, unflinching realities of this legacy. \nFeaturing a powerhouse all-Indigenous cast\, the performance fuses visceral movement\, haunting cinematic imagery\, and a stirring original score to summon the experiences still held within the school’s bricks and mortar. Inspired by Survivors’ testimonials\, The Mush Hole is not only a reckoning\, it’s a radiant story of resistance\, remembrance\, and the courage to find light in even the darkest places. \n“The Mush Hole is a story about hope and finding light in dark places\, as much as it speaks to intergenerational trauma\, it screams resilience. Every single element represented on stage comes from survivors sharing their experiences with us” —Santee Smith; Creator\, Director\, and Performer \nPresented as part of TRANSFORM Festival 2025. \nFor more information and tickets\, visit thecultch.com/event/the-mush-hole

SUMMARY:East Van Panto: West Van Story
DESCRIPTION:A West Van crew. An East Van gang. One wild holiday romance in the middle of a dance battle and a housing crisis. It’s East Van Panto: West Van Story – where love gets weird and the rent’s still too darn high! \n\n\n\n\nWhen a freak atmospheric tsunami strands West Van influencer Holly\, and her curling crew The Hurry Hards\, deep in the wilds of East Van\, she’s ready for disaster — but not the romantic kind. Enter Joes: charming\, striking\, and a proud member of The East Van Pets… their sworn enemies!\n\n\n\n\nAs Holly battles the expectations of her West Van mega-developer motherfather\, Boberta Rainy\, she finds herself caught between two cities\, two families\, and one seriously unexpected romance. Will she follow her heart — and Joes — into a new world of love\, dance battles\, and civic resistance? Or will Boberta’s towers and renovictions crush everything in their path? \nThis holiday season\, come watch Holly and Joes try to Second-Narrows-bridge their differences and sweep each other off their feet. Love\, laughter\, and low-income housing — now that’s a triple takeout! \nTheatre Replacement’s East Van Panto is back for its thirteenth (!) year — and this time\, we’re switching it up. Say goodbye to the classic fairy tale and hello to a Romeo-and-Juliet-inspired romp like only East Van can deliver! \nEast Van Panto: West Van Story brings together a mix of new and familiar faces: Playwright Marcus Youssef (Wizard of Oz\, Pinocchio) teams up with newcomer Pedro Chamale\, and making her Panto debut is Director Chelsea Haberlin. And of course\, no East Van Panto would be complete without our beloved Composer extraordinaire Veda Hille. \nGet ready for another year of East Van’s wackiest\, most joyfully subversive all-ages tradition!

SUMMARY:Thomas Anfield: Sock Monkey Pop Up Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Vancouver-based artist Thomas Anfield has found a perfect mix of tragicomedy\, playfulness\, and human truth in a subject he’s painted for over twenty years: the beloved Sock Monkey. In his latest exhibition\, Sock Monkey Scenarios\, Anfield explores the labyrinthine and tangled conditions of being human through these iconic\, anthropomorphic figures. \nThe paintings invite viewers into carefully choreographed scenes where Sock Monkeys pose singly or in groups\, spinning\, slumping\, or standing nobly as if thinking great thoughts. Sometimes they appear joyful and lighthearted; other times\, grotesque or melancholic. Their gestures and relationships mirror our own\, evoking both laughter and reflection. \nA contemporary figurative painter and performance artist\, Anfield has exhibited internationally across North America\, Europe\, Russia\, and\nAfrica at venues including The National Gallery of Senegal\, and Salon de Plastica Mexicana. He was the co-creator of the company Butoh-A-GO-GO\, who were invited by the Moscow Ballet to perform on three different occasions. They were also awarded a full production residency\nat Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity\, creating work which then premiered at the Vancouver International Dance Festival. His paintings\nhave been featured in Modern Painters\, Elle\, Maclean’s\, Vancouver Magazine\, and Preview Magazine. Anfield is a Canada Council\, Inter-\nArts grant recipient and a Dance grant recipient.
