Volcano Theatre presents a work-in-progress short run of A Moveable Beast, a new interdisciplinary performance work that uses song, dance, and projections—but no text—to cover more than a century of history through the eyes of a black Canadian protagonist. Inspired by Virginia Woolf’s Orlando, the performance stars soprano Neema Bickersteth, who’s solo on stage but backed up by musicians (Gregory Oh on piano), choreographers (Kate Alton, the show’s co-creator), and an impressive technical team. It’s a new artistic turn for Volcano and director/co-creator Ross Manson, neither having produced a show without a text-based script before.
