Description
The Children of the Bear is the story of a young family growing up in a low income neighbourhood in central Alberta. The confined walls of the family’s living room quickly give way to a world of Knights and Wizards—just like the video games into which the family regularly escape—creating an expansive free-ranging immersive parable. Audiences are invited to explore simultaneous storylines, making choices and discoveries as they unravel the kingdom’s complicated colonial history and lore.
Throughout The Pop-Up Experience: The Children of the Bear, Todd Houseman will be working in collaboration with co-conspirator and site-specific theatre veteran Louise Casemore, director Mitchell Cushman, Stratford Festival fight choreographer Anita Nittoly and a team of designers. Join them during this Lab Residency as they explore the aesthetic fantasy world that the larger project will exist within, and the mechanics behind the operation of the branching narrative.
Created by Todd Houseman as part of Outside the March's TD Forward March Program.
A limited number of tickets are reserved for audience members who use American Sign Language for the Saturday, August 14 7:30 pm performance. If you require ASL interpretation please email boxoffice@summerworks.ca to reserve one of these tickets.
The Pop-Up Experience is an indoor experience with a small capacity of distanced audience members who must remain masked at all times. There will be up to 20 people distanced in the space at any time. The performance plus a brief talk-back will run 45-minutes or under. Unfortunately there is no on-site audience washroom. The space is wheelchair accessible. If you have further access questions you can get in touch with our access team at outreach@summerworks.ca.
If you want a glimpse into the artistic process, stop by 1282 Bloor Street West at our Pop-Up location, where you'll be able to engage in the creative process and peek through the windows to watch the Forward March artists at work throughout the month of August.
Part of the SummerWorks Lab programming – a place for exploration, experimentation, and process. In the Lab, you can experience new works in development from artists exploring new possibilities in performance.
