SUMMARY:A Taste of Hong Kong
DESCRIPTION:Pi Theatre continues its foray into original work with the world premiere of A Taste of Hong Kong by Anonymous\, presented in association with Vancouver Asian Theatre Company (vAct) from Thursday March 6 to Saturday March 15\, 2025 at the Vancity Culture Lab (1895 Venables Street). \nJackie Z welcomes you to A Taste of Hong Kong. Come join Jackie for a snack-sized tasting class of Hong Kong’s best treats! Jackie will introduce you to famous foods such as curry fish balls\, siu mai and more\, while sharing the highlights and history of Hong Kong. All the way from its colonial era to the present\, this class will give you an intimate look at the pride and determination of Hong Kong people. \n“I’m very pleased to bring this joyful and heartfelt play to life both here and in Toronto\,” says Director and Producer Richard Wolfe. \n“It will be at Theatre Passe Muraille in May and will be the second original play produced by Pi to travel to Toronto this season. Written by Anonymous\, this project indirectly shines a light on the reality of self-censorship in Canada. With all the current talk of free speech\, the playwright did not put their identity forward to claim authorship of this script because they are afraid of reprisals by the security services of a foreign government. In other words\, some Canadian artists living in Canada don’t feel they have the artistic freedom to reflect their political views through artistic expression here in our country. This kind of coercion is a common page in every authoritarian’s playbook.”

SUMMARY:Cambodian Rock Band
DESCRIPTION:History and music combine in this theatrical journey. In Cambodian Rock Band\, six actor-musicians make up the cast and perform a mix of contemporary Dengue Fever hits and classic Cambodian oldies. Lauren Yee brings to vivid life the Cambodian rock scene of the ‘60s and ‘70s\, a movement cut short by the Khmer Rouge’s brutal attempt to erase the music—and musicians. \nThis darkly funny\, genre-defying play tells the story of a Khmer Rouge survivor returning to Cambodia after thirty years\, just as his daughter prepares to prosecute one of the country’s most notorious war criminals. While an onstage band brings foot-stomping hits to life\, the electric play shifts back and forth in time as the father reveals family secrets that exhibit the enduring power of music and the resilience of the human spirit.

SUMMARY:The Polygon Gallery: Tranquility of Communion
DESCRIPTION:The Polygon Gallery presents Tranquility of Communion\, a landmark exhibition of the late British-Nigerian photographer Rotimi Fani-Kayode’s work\, running from Feb. 28 to May 25\, 2025. This Canadian premiere brings together Fani-Kayode’s celebrated photographs alongside archival prints and previously unseen works from his student years. Fani-Kayode’s images treat same-sex\, multiracial love with a spiritual intensity\, employing symbolic language to explore themes of identity\, sexuality\, and race. Born into a prominent Nigerian family that emigrated to London in the 1960s in search of political refuge\, Fani-Kayode channeled his multifaceted identity and outsider status into a bold photographic practice that made him a prominent figure in the Black British art scene. His work left an enduring influence on contemporary art despite a career that was tragically cut short by his death in 1989\, at the age of 34. \nAdmission to The Polygon Gallery is by donation\, courtesy of BMO Financial Group.
