Vancouver’s Boca del Lupo and Ireland’s The Performance Corporation join forces once again for Expedition: The Symposium and Apparition\, the fourth installment of the Expedition series\, which consists of immersive pieces of s peculative fiction set in 2167 that explore ideas around climate change.
In The Symposium\, prominent scientists\, activists and humour ists are asked to create 10-minute talks on their area of interest and expe rtise from a future perspective. Discouraging limits to their imagination a nd encouraging possible misinterpretations of the “past”\, these talks are both funny and satirically insightful.
Leading up to The Symposiu m is Apparition\, an outdoor installation featuring Saskatche wan-based playwright Yvette Nolan and Vancouver actor Quelemia Sparrow. Rif fing on the stereotypical posters popular in the 70’s with native elders of fering over-simplified wisdoms against the backdrop of a sunset on a mounta in\, this installation presents audience members with a vision from the fut ure offering wisdoms of a very different sort.
Both works are filled with humour and irony while remaining grounded in their effort to get to th e heart of the often heady and overwhelming issues around climate change.
