Audience members become the stars of the show in this interactive adaptation of the classic fairy tale. While the theatre group brings four actors who are all skilled at improvisation and a trunk full of props and costumes, it’s the audience that really dictates the show. In addition to choosing audience members to play key roles in the fairy tale, the audience is encouraged to participate and interact with the actors. Parents will be amazed at how the interactive format captivates their kids, and the show will likely be a topic of family laughter and conversation for some time after the experience.

RUBBERBANDance - VIC'S MIX
Presented by Venables Theatre

The result of a unique mutation between ballet and hip-hop on the west coast of the 1990s, the RUBBERBANDance Group has been redefining the boundaries of the contemporary for fifteen years with its singular language. Sometimes light, sometimes serious, Vic's Mix surveys the vast creative territory of Victor Quijada to extract several pearls from the choreographer's repertoire. By remixing his own work, clashing with popular urban music and classical composition, Quijada re-experiences challenging the notions of theatricality and public reception, and ensures that every body that gravitates on stage, inside highly athletic, is a response to the RUBBERBAND Method. A reflection of the freedom and openness of Montreal's vibrant scene, Vic's Mix promises to surprise by the extent of its spectrum. TICKETS: $29 Adults, $15 Students |
