The actual Rideau Project 666

gpbudlyof

Paper work beckoned, but his eye kept drifting back to the actual show. Small wonder: Bob Ng's mini play Peace, Acreage and Bread, performed while in the lobby of the Conference Centre Friday evening before the shield and a couple of dozen crowd members, is riveting. In line with the infamous Canadian Cold Warfare spy case of Igor Gouzenko, it capabilities Nicolas Di Gaeteno (Gouzenko), Margo MacDonald (Gouzenko's wife) and Andy Massingham (a security guard   which designed two in the room). And while traces were occasionally difficult to find out in the high ceilinged venue, must have seems custom made for Peace, Land and Bread along with its depiction of a well intentioned gentleman pounding at the door of huge, faceless government.
In actual fact, Calmness, Land and Bread was created for the venue, not overturn. It is one of six shorter plays in the Rideau Project/Projet Rideau, part of Permanent magnet North Theatre Festival which in turn runs until June 13. Intended to unveil the real town behind Ottawa's official faade, the project contains four English and two German productions written by Ottawa area playwrights as well as inspired by downtown spots. A guide shepherds the audience between venues during the free, three time walking tour (our manual mentioned that the project appeared to be sold out, but that there is a hanging around list).
The leafy Jeanne d'Arc Trial in the ByWard Market plays location of Michel Ouellette's Cercles Polaires. In this funny and unhappy story, Annie Lefebvre Del già citato and Benjamin Gaillard enjoy a couple of guileless misfits who meet inside a, well, courtyard. The play's clown elements underscore its theme of motif of human alienation. Completed in French, the depiction of the yawning gulf between men il suffit de suivre le LOG  65 and women was given particular resonance when a intent young lady entered the actual courtyard on a shopping mission. She was visibly disturbed by means of these two characters, even though they settled her not the least attention, and scuttled nervously around the performance spot.
Passers by, many of them hell bias cyclists, were similarly shocked to encounter Luc Moquin's absurdist comedy Bison charisma unfolding, primarily in French, within Plaza Bridge near the Conference Center. The surprise may have experienced something to do with actors Marc Andr Boyer, John Koensgen, Magali Lemle and Michel Sauv outfitted as high lively characters from the wild western world. With its echoes of Samuel Beckett's Awaiting Godot   one character suffers from tender feet, a wilted carrot appears   the particular play, like others in the project, ignites speculation in relation to space. Is public space or room as transitory as we think? Is there its own, often ignored name? Do we too frequently hurry because of the human dramas and comedies taking place underneath our noses?
Speculations genuinely, and the sheer fun regarding watching delighted tourists halt to catch a few minutes of a show like Patrick Gauthier's Tourist Factors, help stamp the Rideau Project/Projet Rideau being a smart idea. Gauthier's show underneath Maman, the spider sculpture outside of the National Gallery of Nova scotia, shows how potential connections can founder when they conflict with our inviolable sense of identity. Although a good start starting point for the trip, Tourist Things feels unnatural, as though playwright and actors David Doucet, Julian Doucet and construction on 238 Linden St is underway 058 Andree Rainville need to workshop the idea a time or two.
Eva Migneron's Trash (Rebut), performed by Tania Lvy and Maxine Turcotte, furthermore needs work. The tale of your homeless violinist in a garbage scattered area behind Arts Court starts powerfully but meanders. That will draw us into the time of someone we pass by for any city street, the particular script should have stuck in order to more narrative, less metaphor.
Beneath Arts Court, quite a different drama takes place. Pierre Brault's The Rhyme of the Nicholas Street Gaol is the story of the final, haunting minutes of Eugene Larmont (Simon Bradshaw), the very last man hanged in Ottawa. Among the finest pieces in the project, it takes place in a clammy downstairs room holding cell where viewers and actors are within arms reach of each other. Simon Duckworth, Richard Glinas and Kate Smith complete the impressive cast within this model of site specific treatment room.

Review: Love 'em and also hate 'em, Nickelback serves up weird in a good wayWhere does the occasion go? One moment that you simply spry, young, post grunge band, evening out the seething hatred of one part of music listeners with the enthusiastic support of another; the next you showing off your new disco sparkle electric guitars to horrified gasps of outrage from both. Well, great on you, Nickelback, I say.
