Ten years ago, four artists in their late 20s and early 30s travelled across the country to interview 100 people, aged one to 100.
They talked to them about their experiences and beliefs around kismet – fate and destiny – and what they discovered became the basis of the show Kismet one to one hundred.
Fast forward 10 years, and the artists are a decade older, with four marriages, five kids, two parental deaths and two cross-country moves between them. The same team set out to find the surviving people from their original show and interview them again, 10 years later, with some new questions.
“What they discovered on the road is revealed in a complicated yet intimate portrait of change,” says a write-up about the show.
That second show, Kismet, Things Have Changed, is onstage Nov. 13 through 16 at the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts.
The show was created and is performed by Emelia Symington Fedy, Daryl King, Anita Rochon and Hazel Venzon. It’s brought to the stage by The Chop theatre, a company with a mission to bring artists together to create new Canadian theatre. It was founded in Vancouver in 2006 by Symington Fedy and Rochon, its current artistic directors.
Tickets for the Shadbolt Centre show are $15 for youth, $36 regular, with opening night special pricing at $15. Buy through tickets.shadboltcentre.com or 604-205-3000.
