Remember Wadi Faynan?
Remember when we used to go there
to meet, celebrate, and enact rituals
or sacrifices or ceremonies? I know, it
was a long time ago – nearly twelve
thousand years ago to be precise –
but those memories, those desires
and needs are still within us, right?
We still gather to celebrate, enact
ceremonies, share stories.
Twelve thousand years ago, over
three thousand years before
the invention of agriculture and
its outcome, sedentary society,
our nomadic ancestors used to
meet at Wadi Faynan – a recent
archeological discovery situated in the
south of Jordan – for something even
more important: culture. That’s right –
in an area uninhabited by any kind of
permanent settlement, hundreds of
kilometres from the nearest signs
of civilization, dating from thousands
of years before mankind began
plowing fields and sowing seeds,
lies the world’s first theatre.
There is nothing – absolutely nothing
– that compares to the experience of
people coming together to hear a story
and to share in the collective making
and telling of our culture, our identity
and our place within the world as both it
and we evolve. Canadian Stage is such
a gathering place, where urban nomads
assemble to partake in the stories of
today’s world, told by story-tellers who
constantly re-examine and reinvent
what storytelling is in the first place.
Welcome to the magical realism
of visual artist Stan Douglas and
Chris Haddock’s Helen Lawrence, a
spectacular production combining
live filming, computer-generated
virtual sets and the most engaging
troupe of actors you could dream
of. Share life-changing discoveries
told through the voices of Sharr
White and Simon Stephens, two of
today’s most prominent playwrights
as seen through the vision of Daniel
Brooks and myself, respectively.
And celebrate the extraordinary
musical and human legacy of Charles
Aznavour and the ongoing dialogue
that Anton Chekhov engages with
the modern world, with our Berkeley
Street partner companies, Necessary
Angel and Crow’s Theatre.
Our Spotlight Festival this year features
a number of daring productions from
South Africa which bring to light
the unique artistic forces that are at
work (and at play) in that still new
and ever-struggling Republic. And we
continue to explore and share work
from Canada and around the world:
Opus by Australia’s internationally
acclaimed circus group Circa; Robert
Lepage’s magical Needles and Opium;
and, the unexpected beauty of Belgian
choreographer Michèle Anne De
Mey’s Kiss & Cry. The following pages
will be your guide through these
productions and many more.
At Canadian Stage, we are undeniably
part of this tradition that goes back
twelve thousand years, a tradition that,
in all those years, has not lost an ounce
of its passion, its sense of celebration,
its necessity. A tradition that begs to
be renewed, and which itself renews
our sense of being in the world. We are
so happy to share it with you.

Michèle Anne De Mey AND Jaco Van Dormael
A CHARLEROI DANSES PRODUCTION PRESENTED BY CANADIAN STAGE
“Where do people go when they disappear from our life, from our memory?” This is the question haunting an elderly woman as she
waits alone on the platform of a train station. She reflects on her
greatest loves, starting with her first: a boy whose hand she touched
for a few seconds on a crowded train when she was 13 years old.
Two hands, one male, one
female, portray the characters
of this narrative with an
engaging and sensual presence
as they dance around a set
of miniature landscapes with
absolute precision. Projected
live, this extraordinary blend
of film, dance, text and
theatre from dancer and
choreographer Michèle Anne
De Mey and internationally
celebrated director Jaco Van
Dormael is unlike anything
you’ve seen before and is sure
to leave you breathless.

A NECESSARY ANGEL PRODUCTION PRESENTED BY CANADIAN STAGE
WORLD PRE MIE RE
French-Armenian singer Charles Aznavour is one of the world’s last
living “showmen” who, at 90 years, is still a dazzling performer and
songwriter. Created from his rich and diverse catalogue of songs,
What Makes a Man is inspired by the life he lived, observed and
wrote about. In a moment of personal self-examination, four distinct
aspects of one man are born: poet, survivor, performer and prophet,
collectively embodied by four extraordinary vocal artists.
A living portrait that deconstructs the fabric of personality, this
world premiere piece is being created by Jennifer Tarver, director
of Venus in Fur (2013), and Toronto’s Necessary Angel Theatre
Company, our Berkeley Street partners for the next three seasons.

A CO-PRODUCTION WITH CANADIAN STAGE, ARTS CLUB THEATRE AND THE BANFF CENTRE
World-renowned visual artist Stan Douglas and acclaimed screenwriter
Chris Haddock collaborate to create a production that is at the frontier
of new media use in performance. Inspired by post-war film noir,
Helen Lawrence intertwines theatre, visual art, live-action filming
and computer-generated simulations in this beautifully crafted
suspense-filled tale. As Vancouver struggles to reorganize
itself after World War II, forces diverge
as to who should really hold the power.

A CANADIAN STAGE PRODUCTION
Back by popular demand, the provocatively sexy show that
had everyone talking in 2013 returns to Canadian Stage
for one final run in our heritage 244-seat Berkeley Street
Theatre. A young actress is determined to land the lead in
a new play based on the classic erotic novel Venus in Fur. During her audition, she gets caught up in an electrifying
game of cat and mouse with the director, blurring the line
between fantasy and reality and testing the boudaries
between dominance and submission. With 11 shows only, this
is the final opportunity to see Venus in Fur at Canadian Stage.

STARRING
Christine Horne, Tom McCamus, Yanna McIntosh, Eric Peterson, Philip Riccio, Tom Rooney, Bahia Watson
PRODUCED BY CROW’S THEATRE IN ASSOCIATION WITH CANADIAN STAGE
A play about the cruelty of love – a story about how
we create stories – and about the heartbreakingly
wide expanse between the life we live and the life we
long for. Chekhov’s The Seagull was a spectacular
failure when it premiered in 1895, but has survived to
become one of the masterpieces of the modern era.
Winner of the 2013 Siminovitch Prize, Chris Abraham
brings to life this astonishingly contemporary
play about a family at the end of an era, facing
an uncertain future. Crow’s Theatre continues its
residency at the Berkeley Street Theatre with another
powerful and provocative production.

Juliana Smithton is a successful neurologist whose life
seems to be falling apart around her. Her husband has filed
for divorce, her daughter has eloped with a much older
man, and her own health is declining. But in this brilliantly
troubling and unexpectedly humorous play, nothing is as it
seems. Piece by piece, a mystery unfolds as fact blurs with
fiction, the past collides with the present and the elusive
truth about Juliana begins to surface.
Daniel Brooks, director of RACE (2012), returns to
Canadian Stage to direct this intensely unsettling
emotional thriller with a darkly comedic twist.

A CANADIAN STAGE PRODUCTION
CANADIAN PRE MIE RE
One Autumn evening, after learning of her father’s impending
death, Harper Regan walks away from her home, her husband, her
daughter, and keeps going. She tells no one where she’s going or
whether she’s coming back. She’s put everything she’s ever worked
for at risk. Her journey takes her to the very borderlines of the
relationship between eros and thanatos, sex and death.
Harper Regan is an absorbing story, a woman’s
tale of the need to explore the very meaning of
loyalty, morality, and the bonds of family. Written
by Olivier Award-winning writer Simon Stephens
and directed by Artistic & General Director
Matthew Jocelyn, whose most recent production
THIS (2013) was named “One of the best plays of
this or any other season” by NOW Magazine.
“Simon Stephens's new drama keeps springing surprises.” – THE TELEGRAPH

AN EX MACHINA PRODUCTION PRESENTED BY CANADIAN STAGE
Following sold-out shows in 2013, Robert Lepage’s
Needles and Opium returns to Canadian Stage for

The technological wizardry dazzled audiences
while the poignant performances resonated
deeply. Intertwining the lives of Miles Davis,
Jean Cocteau, and a heartbroken artist named
Robert, it’s a beautiful, poetic, and transformative
experience. This is a masterpiece you won’t want
