Best Life invites audience to listen to their domestic machines, November 2 to 5 at the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts
Theatre Replacement’s participatory world premiere transports you back to the past, and forward into the distant future
Best Life
Best Life, the latest performance by Theatre Replacement—one of Vancouver’s most innovative and experimental stage companies—is set to have its world premiere at the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts.
Playing November 2 to 5 in the facility’s Studio Theatre, it’s inspired by the machines that make our lives better. The new play ponders the question, “What if these domestic machines could whisper to us the stories of the people they are caring for?”
Focusing on a suburban neighbourhood over a span of 50 years, the show builds a shared narrative of longing. The relational work is performed by the audience for the audience.
This intimate and participatory experience simultaneously transports you back to the past as well as forward into the distant future. Best Life also asks a much bigger question, “What it is we are leaving behind?”
It’s created by Theatre Replacement’s artistic director Maiko Yamamoto, in collaboration with Antoine Bedard, Arthi Chandra, Itai Erdal, and Keely O’Brien.
