Hello friends of fu-GEN,
We hope you've had a wonderful summer. After a hugely successful 7th Annual Potluck Festival and GENesis: Asian-Canadian Theatre Conference, we've been busy preparing for our new season, which promises to be innovative, exciting and sexy.
We're kicking the season off with a theatrical experiment called 'sex tape project' and ticket reservations are NOW AVAILABLE! This exciting new project positions the audience as voyeur witnesses to a steamy rendezvous and is the brainchild of our new Interim Artistic Director, David Yee. I can tell you it's involved a lot of hard work on the parts of all artists involved. Those of us in the office can tell it's gonna be good from eavesdropping through our office walls. I guess we're already voyeurs.
We've brought on some great talent to assist with this project. Playwrights Donald Woo (Wong's Garden), Adrienne Wong (Mixie and the Halfbreeds) and our very own David Yee (lady in the red dress) provide three different interpretations on what the audience is seeing. Actors Vanessa Smythe (who appeared in our Potluck Festival) and Christian Feliciano (2008 Banana Boys)are featured, under the expert direction of Esther Jun. We've also have Kiran Friessan providing assistance with choreography and Kevin Centeno as our tech wiz. And of course we have fu-GEN's Andrew Cheng and former intern Jenna Rodgers on the project as well. That's a lot of great people and we're excited to show you what they've been working on.
Phones have been ringing like crazy here with people reserving tickets, so call the office now to get yours. 416-920-2828.
We'll see you soon.
An exercise in interpretation, three writers provide possible explanations for a scene that erupts across the street from the viewer. Adrienne Wong (Mixie & the Halfbreeds), Donald Woo (Wong’s Garden) and David Yee (lady in the red dress) plunge you into their hypothetical worlds of passion, crime, chance encounters, sociopathic tendencies, true love and a one night stand gone horribly, horribly wrong. The scene unfolds in a hotel room in Toronto’s Chinatown with audiences viewing from the board room of the Centre for Social Innovation across the street.
Space is extremely limited (there are only 12 sets of binoculars after all) and reservations are absolutely necessary. Please call fu-GEN to book your ticket at 416.920.2828.
