Plastic orchid factory stages Nate Yaffe's solo work faith hole, October 25 and 26
Le Radeau production sees Yaffe cultivate an exchange between performer and audience with unguarded emotion and humour
Plastic orchid factory presents Nate Yaffe’s faith hole, a solo work produced by Le Radeau, at Left of Main on October 25 and 26 at 7 pm.
In faith hole, Yaffe cultivates a non-transactional exchange between performer and audience, offering himself as an open orifice spilling fleshy histories with unguarded emotion and humour. By excavating muscle memories as artifacts from a history of conditioning through classical dance training, internalized hetero-masculine values, and restrained hyperactivity, Yaffe strives to reveal the innately queer vocabulary that lives beneath.
Created through radical trust in the body, faith hole embraces Yaffe’s corporeal future, dismissing nostalgic lingerings of self while exposing splinters of personhood to the public.
Ahead of his faith hole performances, Yaffe will also host community workshops on October 23 and 25 at the Scotiabank Dance Centre in partnership with the Training Society Of Vancouver.
Tickets and more details are available through plastic orchid factory.
