Shadbolt Centre for the Arts presents In the Belly of the Carp, November 28 to 30
Innovative show created by Rodney DeCroo, Samantha Pawliuk, and David Bloom melds music, theatre, and poetry inside a giant fish
Shadbolt Centre for the Arts presents In the Belly of the Carp, a hybrid between a concert, play, and poetry reading, from November 28 to 30 with showtimes at 2 pm and 7:30 pm.
When brilliant but erratic songwriter Rodney has to give a concert, spectres from his troubled past emerge to play tug-of-war with his well-being, torpedo his relationships (especially with his long-time manager and closest friend Samantha), and plunge him into a battle for his soul inside a giant fish.
Created by Rodney DeCroo, Samantha Pawliuk, and David Bloom, In the Belly of the Carp includes visual fantasias by award-winning shadow puppeteers Chloé Ziner and Jessica Gabriel from Mind of a Snail. Director TJ Dawe helms the show, which features DeCroo performing his original songs and poetry with a cast of actors and a live band.
