This video is an archival recording of the performance, Oct 8th, 2020.

Peter and the Wolf is a retelling of the classic symphonic fairy tale for children, queerly remade. Incorporating elements of film, live music, and imposed communication technologies, the performance boldly imagines what had transpired in the theatre in the six months following the artists’ forced abandonment of the theatre, leaving the characters to their own devices.

Peter and the Wolf explores the performance and agency of identity through a layered, mediated lens, inviting viewers to reflect on new definitions of otherness, of spectatorship, of representation. Told largely from the perspective of the Wolf, the performance challenges diametric oppositions of the self through an infinite journey of simultaneity, moving away from Either and Or towards an inclusive Neither alive with possibilities.

In collaboration with: Colin Williscroft, June Hsu, Laura Coons, Megan Lane.

Created as part of MFA graduating requirements at SFU.
