THE SHADBOLT CENTRE for the Arts’ 2022 fall season is getting off to a raucous start. In association with Affair of Honor, it is presenting the world premiere of The Five Vengeances. The physical-theatre piece is written and directed by Joavanni and designed by Jessie Award-winning multimedia collective Chimerik 似不像.
Described in a release as a “raucous love letter to 1970s kung-fu cinema”, the production features a cast of 11 actor/fighters and tells the queer love story of Fury (Nathania Bernabe), a master swordswoman, “seeking to avenge the death of her bride-to-be Bella (Elizabeth Young). With the help of Bella’s sister, Shotgun (Jackie T. Hanlin), Fury takes on the treacherous royal family of the Northern Lands in order to exact her vengeance on Bella’s murderer, the all-powerful Overlord (Chirag Naik).”
Affair of Honor won a 2018 Jessie Award nominee for Significant Artistic Achievement.
