SUMMARY:The Cave
DESCRIPTION:Tomson Highway\, John Millard\, and Martha Ross’s apocalyptic cabaret\, The Cave\, comes to Vancouver with new and magical animations by Bruce Alcock. A group of animals flee from a vicious forest fire and seek refuge in Bear’s cave. Waiting out the inferno\, they reflect on their lives\, their lost garden\, and their impending doom. These unlikely and singed bedfellows share their stories and take comfort in their newfound community while the fire encroaches. \nAt times comical\, at times dramatic and tragic\, the evening is hosted by a wry and charming MC played by the composer\, Millard himself. The four performers sing seventeen stirring songs in English and Cree\, playing abstractions of Bear\, Moose\, Beaver\, Skunk\, Snake\, Wolf\, Crow\, and Fox. The cabaret band supports the style with wild\, beautiful\, poignant\, and entertaining orchestrations. \nPart Nightclub\, part Cave\, the show stimulates discussion about our planet’s precarious survival in the context of exceptional art\, offering an affirmative and cathartic experience. It is a sublime assemblage of multidisciplinary art\, showcasing what makes Canada astounding and unique on the international arts landscape. The Cave is as entertaining as its themes are timely and has audiences leaping to their feet.
