That’s right, in just a few hours, I’ll be heading out, along with the rest of the current cast of Sinking Neptune, to Guelph, Ontario to perform in the latest version of this verbatim theatre exposée of Eurocentric celebrations like the 400th anniversary (2006) of the supposed “first play” in North America, Marc Lescarbot’s Theatre of Neptune in New France which is racist against the First Nations.
This year, we’re focusing on the 400th anniversary of Quebec City, another celebration that glosses over some of the real and bloody history of the event being celebrated.
If you happen to live in the Guelph area, the show is Saturday, February 9th, at 9pm at the George Luscome Theatre at the University of Guelph and it’s pay-what-you-can.
I’ll try to write a few posts while down there, but for now, here’s a video trailer of the show:
