Join us in Vancouver this September for the company’s premiere of NEUROCEROS!
Inspired by Ionesco’s 1959 absurdist play Rhinocéros* and designed to counter raw nerves rubbed wrongly by our own time’s twitching, grunting beast… three dancers and one composer/musician push through alienation arising with [wait...is this fascism!?] and you!
NEUROCEROS! will be a site-specific work in the former brass foundry, warehouse, and current music venue, Industrial Garden, located at 326 Clark Avenue. Doors and the bar open at 7 PM, with the performance starting at 8 PM.
Feeling at all alienated? Let's counter that and simultaneously help bring this project to reality. Support the project, the artists and the community! Donate any amount during the month of July and receive an invitation to a preview / meet the artists event over cocktails and Q&A at one of two VIP events leading up to the show!
Join Koda Kultur, Art Music Denmark and the Danish Arts Foundation to help foster artistic innovation and collaboration on the project’s timely themes by artists (including three dual citizens) from Canada, the United States and Denmark. Click here to learn more.
