A couple weeks back I reported that the 2011 PuSh International Performing Arts Festival was about to launch and what I forgot to mention was that Vancouver Is Awesome is a media sponsor of this year's festival along with the Georgia Straight and CTV!
The festival kicks off Monday night at 9PM with their opening gala, a "veritable buffet of creativity spread throughout the many eclectic spaces of the new multi-level Club Five Sixty". The Zolas will be playing...
And there will also be guest DJs and a number of performances including Theatre Replacement’s Weetube – a piece that uses the publicly posted comments found under popular YouTube videos to highlight the brilliant and the mundane found in the world’s most populated critical discourse, and The Chop’s Last Tango Dance Salon–an intimate installation where audience members share a dance and an interwoven narrative with the performers.
Last but not least V.I.A. has been working with the event organizers to help produce something extra special and interactive that revolves around this map pictured below. That's all I'm going to say for now, but you won't be able to miss it if you attend and we'll be following up with a few posts about it here on the blog in the coming days.
