Humour, pathos and absurdity combine as Noam Gagnon takes to the stage at the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts.

The choreographer and performer is onstage at the Shadbolt Nov. 16 to 19 with Thank You, You're Not Welcome - a new incarnation of his previous work, 10 Things You'll Hate About Me, which premiered in 2010.

The show, presented by Compagnie Vision Selective, is described as a "series of frenzied vignettes excised from his life, or maybe stolen from another" in which Gagnon walks the line between art and life, ushering his audience deep into the world of his mind.

James Fagan Tait is the show's director and playwright. For more about Compagnie Vision Selective, see www.vision selective.org.

Thank You, You're Not Welcome runs Nov. 16 to 19 at the Shadbolt Centre, with shows at 8 p.m. in the Studio Theatre.

Tickets are $32 regular or $27 for students and seniors, available in person at the Shadbolt box office, by phone at 604-205-3000 or online at www.shadbolt centre.com.
