Théâtre la Seizième presents De glace at the Roundhouse Community Arts & Recreation Centre from January 31 to February 2, with both French and English performances, in partnership with PuSh International Performing Arts Festival and Vancouver International Children’s Festival.
In a frostbitten landscape at the heart of an endless Norwegian winter, two young girls become fast friends. Love at first sight ends abruptly when Unn disappears into a frozen waterfall, a colossal ice palace at the mouth of a lake. As for Siss, she stays with the living, clinging to the memory of her soulmate against all odds. Meanwhile, the ice is melting…
L’eau du bain (the theatre company behind White Out and La Chambre des enfants) breathes life into a true gem of Nordic literature with this immersive sensory experience.
Director Anne-Marie Ouellet and sound designer Thomas Sinou will host free sound landscape workshops at the Roundhouse on February 1 and 2.
Tickets are at Théâtre la Seizième.
