Gateway Theatre is honoured to present the B.C. premiere of Prophecy Fog by award-winning Indigenous artist Jani Lauzon from March 9 to 18. Opening Night is on Friday, March 10.
For thousands of years, Giant Rock in California’s Mojave Desert was a spiritual site for Indigenous nations. Today, it’s covered in graffiti and surrounded by broken bottles. Can a site still be sacred if it has been desecrated? In this captivating 80-minute solo play, Lauzon takes viewers to Giant Rock on a profound exploration of land, family, and sacred spaces.
The play was brought to life with the help of director Franco Boni, dramaturg Brian Quirt, and production manager A.J. Morraand features evocative environmental design by Melissa Joakim.
Lauzon is a multidisciplinary artist of Métis ancestry. She is a ten-time Dora nominated actor-director-writer, a three-time Juno-nominated singer-songwriter, an acclaimed screen actor, a Gemini Award-winning puppeteer, and a Toronto Theatre Critics award-winning director. She started working as a puppeteer with Jim Henson in the early ‘80s, including on productions such as Fraggle Rock and the film Follow That Bird.
Tickets, $35, can be purchased at Gateway Theatre. Audience members will be seated on chairs and cushions on the floor. Those with mobility concerns are encouraged to select “chair” seats when purchasing tickets.
