TRAGIC QUEENS Hits Centaur Theatre's 21st Wildside Festival
After 7 META nominations, 2 WINS and an exhilarating run at the Mainline this summer - we are thrilled to announce that CABAL THEATRE is bringing TRAGIC QUEENS to Centaur Theatre's in January! Part frenetic, part melancholic, we follow the capricious and passionate power games of three time-travellers stuck in a perpetual state of girlhood.
Alienating and deeply intimate, TRAGIC QUEENS is a relentless maelstrom of eras, emotions and mirrors. Featuring the lyrical writing of Rhiannon Collett, whose Sapphic whimsy tracks the characters' journey through the ages.
NOMINATED FOR 7 2017 METAs Outstanding Independent Production, Outstanding Ensemble, Outstanding Lighting Design Outstanding Emerging Artist (Production): Direction and Playwriting
Performers Meagan Schroeder, Jillian Harris and two-time META Recipient Alex Petrachuk move swiftly through a collage of shifting public and private spaces, breaking through the fabric of time to exercise the narratives society presents them. This collision manifests on and off stage, facilitated by live video intervention.
Under the precise direction of Anthony Kennedy, physicality and movement-based imagery are brought to the fore, accompanied by the integrated sound design and live compositions of Devon Bate. Lighting the Centaur and its clandestine back corners will be Jon Cleveland, a clever artist in site-responsive theatre and Montreal's largest playhouses. Costumes are by the illustrious and multi- talented Sophie El-Assaad, whose bold designs have earned her two METAs!
A new member on the project, choreographer / dancer Alanna Kraaijeveld [of company Dave St.Pierre, Groupe d'Art Gravel Art Group / Fre?de?rick Gravel] brings her unique quixotic movement style, humour and adaptability to the production, supporting the piece's diverse movement needs.
