SUMMARY:Pretendianism
DESCRIPTION:Esteemed novelist Joseph Boyden\, acclaimed film director Michelle Latimer and former University of Saskatchewan professor Carrie Bourassa have all made front-page news in recent years for the same reason: each is alleged to have been a “pretendian.” \nThe term “pretendian” has come to refer to someone who claims distant Indigenous heritage that doesn’t stand up to deeper scrutiny. But why would someone fake an Indigenous identity? \nThat question is the premise of The Pretendians (2022)\, a documentary from The Passionate Eye and the latest film featuring Anishinaabe author and playwright Drew Hayden Taylor. The documentary follows his cross-Canada journey\, revealing what really lies behind this explosive issue. \nRating: PG / Runtime: 44 mins\nPresented in partnership with CBC Gem.\n— \nAfter the film\, join Cee Peal\, the 2026 VPL Storyteller in Residence for a discussion around Pretendianism and the harm and division that it creates in Indigenous communities. \n— \nCee Peal is a theatre artist from the Nisga’a First Nation of Northern B.C. now working in Vancouver on the traditional\, unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam)\, səl̓ilwətaɁɬ (Tsleil-waututh)\, and sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) peoples. He brings to the library his experience in storytelling\, theatre\, and image making\, drawing from his experience working as an actor\, director\, writer\, dancer\, and producer on various productions. With a passion for Indigenous studies and cultural evolution\, Cee is also the Indigenous outreach coordinator at The Cultch and the artistic associate at The Carmen Arts Group. \nTo find out more about Cee’s residency and keep up with his upcoming events visit: vpl.ca/storyteller

SUMMARY:La Bohème
DESCRIPTION:One of opera’s most enduring love stories\, set in the world’s most romantic city\, rendered with the most vibrant characters and melodies. Puccini’s masterpiece transports us to the heart of 1890s bohemian life in Paris\, where love blossoms amidst dreams\, hardships\, and the unyielding pursuit of artistic freedom. La Bohème has remained one of the most beloved and frequently performed operas worldwide since its 1896 premiere\, due in large part to captivating pieces like “Quando m’en vo”\, a.k.a. “Musetta’s Waltz”\, and perhaps the most famous duet in opera\, “O soave fanciulla”\, sung on that moonlit moment when Mimì and Rodolfo fall in love.

SUMMARY:Sophie Lui: Chinatown Stories of Perseverance and Pride
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a presentation of Sophie Lui’s video\, “Chinatown Stories of Perseverance and Pride”\, an exploration of some of the history that shaped the community – and a look at the future through the eyes of those who love the neighbourhood. \nThe future of Vancouver’s Chinatown has been the subject of a lot of debate in recent years\, especially in the wake of the pandemic. But beyond the headlines\, Chinatown is also a place where real people live\, work and play and where history isn’t confined to a museum. Chinatown has been a refuge\, and the community has consistently pushed back against racist policies and even outright violence. \nToday\, it faces drug use and homelessness\, development and displacement – and the fear of being forgotten. \nJoin us for an honest conversation about the challenges Chinatown faces today and the future we can shape together. \nA moderated conversation with Sophie Lui\, Andy Yan\, Doris Chow\, and Henry Tsang to follow.

SUMMARY:Juliet & Romeo
DESCRIPTION:The Cultch presents Juliet & Romeo\, a humorous and heartfelt duet about love\, loss and longevity. \nWith Lost Dog’s unique blend of dance\, theatre and comedy\, this duet reveals the real story of Romeo and Juliet. It turns out they didn’t die in a tragic misunderstanding\, they grew up and lived happily ever after. Well\, they lived at least. \nNow they’re in their 40s\, at least one of them is in the grips of a mid-life crisis\, and they feel constantly mocked by their teenage selves and haunted by the pressures of being the poster couple for romantic love. \nTo confront their current struggles\, they have decided to put on a performance — about themselves. Their therapist told them it was a terrible idea. \nDirected by Olivier Award-nominated Ben Duke\, Juliet & Romeo takes on our cultural obsession with youth and our inevitable issues with longevity. \nFor more information and tickets: https://thecultch.com/event/juliet-and-romeo/

SUMMARY:Opera Unbound presents Roan Shankaruk’s The Fox
DESCRIPTION:Opera Unbound presents the world premiere of emerging Vancouver composer Roan Shankaruk’s evocative new chamber opera The Fox\, on stage April 17-19\, 2026 at ANNEX (823 Seymour Street). This is the first time D.H. Lawrence’s 1922 novella has been adapted into a contemporary opera. An unsettling study of power and psychology\, The Fox is an intense\, genre-defying examination of the nuanced relationships and power dynamics of its characters. \nSet in the wake of WWI and the Spanish Influenza\, The Fox follows Nellie March and Jill Banford\, who are both business and covert romantic partners plagued by a wily fox wreaking havoc on their poultry farm. When a charming young soldier\, Henry Grenfel\, offers his assistance\, he sets off a chain of events that threaten to change all of their lives forever. \nUnder the music direction of Perri Lo\, the world premiere of The Fox features local performers: tenor Adam Schmidt as Henry\, mezzo-soprano Renee Fajardo and soprano Roan Shankaruk\, alternating as Jill\, and mezzo-soprano Taryn Plater as Nellie.
