The latest evolution in Upintheair Theatre’s fifteen-year history of Festival production, rEvolver takes place each May and brings audiences the full range of contemporary theatrical practice, from script-based theatre to devised and site-specific works, staged readings of work-in-progress, and in-depth discussions with artists, including:
4inXchange: An interactive, site-specific game with four players and $1,000 cash — 4inXchange is a pop art business meeting that guides you through a series of dialogues, chances, competitions, and meditations. Use the cash on the table to get to know your fellow participants, while xLq asks provocative questions about value, intimacy, love, and truth. Returns and exchanges guaranteed.
Fake Ghost Tours: Amateur ghost hunters/identical twin brothers Abdul Aziz and Shawn O’Hara take you on a 100% accurate and legitimate walking tour of Vancouver’s most definitely haunted locations. Their knowledge will thrill you! Their stories will chill you! Their credentials will confuse you! From the site of the Jon Bon Jovi Massacre to Vancouver’s first ghost-operated business, no stone will be left un-toured.
Perfect Strangers: Audience members who have never met are paired up and embark on a walking journey through the neighbourhood surrounding the Cultch. The pairs are guided through a series of questions and conversation topics which become increasingly intimate. Throughout the journey, the pairs record moments of their experience on Post-It notes which are posted as they walk around the neighbourhood, forming a miniature guerilla art-installation for other passers-by and animating the landscape with a fleeting archive of transforming relationships.
