Videogames like Just Dance! and Rock Band have changed how we gather to sing,
dance and tell stories. DIGITAL FOLK explore this phenomenon. This paradox of
being alone, together. It probably sounds over the top but the show really is all these
things, all at once: A COSTUME PARTY (you can wear flare made by the amazing
designer, Natalie Purschwitz), a REAL-LIFE MUSIC & DANCE PERFORMANCE
(featuring 10 amazing performers from across Canada), VIDEO-GAME PLAY (get
your Rock Bank on!) and an ART INSTALLATION (Natalie Purschwitz at it again,
with adaptation of James Proudfoot’s original lighting by Jonathan Kim). Join us at
LEFT OF MAIN and be a part of the space’s transformation into a playful
environment that is part rumpus room from the 80s, part visual art installation, and
part secrete chamber from Zelda. Seating is limited, don’t delay in booking your
tickets.
LOOPING PERFORMANCES AT 9 PM & 10 PM.
STAY FOR 1 ROUND OR 2.
