The Tennessee Williams' classic Vieux Carre gets a new look in the Canadian Premiere, The Wooster Group's Version of Tennessee Williams' Vieux Carre. This unique show is on, March 28th-31st, at the Fleck Dance Theatre. Directed by The Wooster Group's founding member, Elizabeth LeCompte and stars long-time company members Ari Fliakos, Scott Sheppard and Kate Valk. A bold re-imaging of Williams' story this experimental theatre company returns to Toronto for the first time since 1989.
If you are not familiar with the 30 plus years of work by the Wooster Group don't miss this opportunity to see one of New York's most radical companies in action. The show stays true to Williams' original text, but takes the story in an inspired and new direction. Art greatly influences Ms. LeCompte, particularly the work of Andy Warhol, and 70's film maker Paul Morrissey. Supported by a layered sound score and inventive video use the play deftly translates to the 21st century.
