Opening this week at Buddies is Tightrope. This world premiere was developed by the well-known, Montreal-based cabaret duo, 2boys.tv (Sephen Lawson and Aaron Pollard.) The show was inspired by Lawson and Pollards' desire to explore and come to grips with the lost generation, who vanished during the AIDS outbreak of the late 80's and early 90's. The duo travelled throughout Latin America where they encountered stories of individuals and cultures threatened by cultural extinction. The result of their travels is Tightrope a song-cycle for the forgotten. With the aid of a virtual choir of international singers, the pair, along with the rest of the cast, summon the shadows, aspirations and voices of the past in a multimedia tribute to the departed.
This show is sure to be an emotional spectacle and definitely worth stopping by Buddies this weekend. EAP will be at the show Friday night. Hope to see you there!?
Tightrope runs until June 5th. Click the header for theatre, and ticket information.
