Synopsis: | "artstetten" juxtaposes the story of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his beloved Sophie with the increasingly tense correspondence of two world leaders prior to The Great War. The original telegraphs from July 1914 between the German Emperor and the Russian Tsar are artfully woven into one of the greatest untold love stories to paint a multifaceted portrait of the time. | |||||

Synopsis: | At times a (very) tongue-in-cheek Waiting for Godot, at times a psychological power struggle, Grape's interactions are hilarious but always human. The brilliantly witty text by Stephanie Demas (who also directed) dances lightly between existential questioning and psychological games with frequent outrageously funny reminders that we are, after all, talking about popsicles here. The High-Pitched Ones" or "Little Hands" one encounters "at the top are the children whose arrival signals an escape to the "Outside". There is an understated current of tragedy in this. The audience knows the characters' fate and almost wills Grape to remain in splendid and solid isolation at the bottom. Highly regarded in Canada and the Czech Republic this script has seen 6 renditions for its popularity Awards include: Best Original Script for Theatrical Excellence of in 2005 and Best Show of LOAF 2005. | |||||

Synopsis: | Artem Barry and Danielle Le Saux-Farmer play a brother and sister living in Skurahnovtaz who reveal through artfully scripted words and supremely acted vignettes various tales from the village's past and present. Trees have flesh and fingers, poppy seeds can stop a witch in her tracks, tables dance and (albeit obliquely) tell the future, tulips are black and babies are born with white eyes. While the spirituality continues unabated and the 'old woman' next door is viewed with suspicion, we learn of life in the course of the war, of nights of empty air raids, of dwindling supplies and of silkworms. People die, though not due to bullets and bombs, and, as Ildi becomes more and more aware of the mystic nature of life in the village, her long-suffering brother stares at the one endlessly repeated movie on Serb television until he is goaded into telling another story from the days when the great oak was just a sapling. . .The clash of mysticism and industrialisation is beautifully personified by the authentic push and shove between the steady brother and flighty sister until the abrupt ending one Christmas Eve. Fantastic, in all definitions of the word. | |||||
