Dream - Sunday November 2nd in Enderby
|
On Sunday Nov. 2nd at 7 pm, we are reviving our production of Dream for a special showing at the Enderby Drill Hall (200 George St aka Highway 97A in Enderby).
Tickets are $12 for adults and $5 for children (under 12), available at the door. Refreshments will served by the Enderby and District Arts Council. Runaway Moon Theatre is grateful to the Arts Council for helping to arrange this presentation. Every November 1 and 2, in Mexico, people come together to feast and celebrate with their ancestors on the Day of the Dead. This is the setting for Dream, Runaway Moon Theatre’s play for actors and puppets. On that day, when the line between the living and the dead is easily crossed, Juan, a poor, hard working farmer, finally indulges his one long held desire. He is visited by three powerful figures, each holding him to account for his actions. Based on a folktale from Mexico, the story is told with intricately crafted puppets, by a duo of Mariachi style musicians from another era. This intimate production takes full advantage of the possibilities that puppetry brings to storytelling. Both humourous and poignant, it is designed primarily for adults, but like all Runaway Moon productions it can be enjoyed by people of all ages over 5. Cathy Stubington and Salvadoran actor Zompopo Flores began performing and creating together in the 80's in Montreal. They created Dream in 1996, and it was first performed at the Caravan Farm Theatre the following year. It was revived by Runaway Moon for a tour of BC communities in 2011, and again for a festival in Victoria this September. |
