HAMLET COLLAGE is based on the The Marowitz Hamlet and poses the question how we, who may not have read or seen Shakespeare's Hamlet, view Hamlet - the person, the play and the myth.

Imagine watching an episode of the Simpsons (the one which contains a parody of Hamlet) and suddenly the Ghost (it is speculated Shakespeare played the ghost) snatches you and drags you into the mind of Hamlet, only you hardly know what is happening. HAMLET COLLAGE cuts & pastes traditional readings, modern interpretations, rewritings and foolish misconceptions into a theatrical collage something close to a subconscious mash-up. Have you been transported into the mind of Hamlet or is Hamlet all in your mind?

… ay, there's the rub;
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
(William Shakespeare)

Hamlet Collage Begins

Rehearsals have begun.

The Fall production is a project based on the Marowitz Hamlet. HAMLET COLLAGE poses the question how we, who may not even have read Shakespeare's Hamlet, view the everyman Hamlet - the person, the play and the myth.

THE ECSTASY OF RITA JOE

THE ECSTASY OF RITA JOE

This year marks the 20th commemoration of George Ryga’s death in 1987, as well as the 40th anniversary of the premiere of the Ecstasy of Rita Joe, the first play in English to be presented in the National Arts Centre Theatre in Ottawa in 1969. For several years afterwards it shook the nation. Chief Dan George wrote in the preface of the first publication, “this play carries a message all Canada should hear.”

One Rita Joe actress after dress rehearsal commented.” I needed to understand situations. I’ve led a pretty sheltered life and this project took me on a journey of understanding the many First Nations issues. I thought it could never happen to me or in my community. I know it is and if we don’t stop it now it’ll go on for ever. It’s not about coming to a play for entertainment – it’s a way of seeing other realities. “A student next to her responded. “I’m reminded of my Grandmother. She was Metis and a rape victim. My Mom says the guy received a light sentence.”

Thank you for coming and supporting.
To share with you is our honour.

“People who are forgotten are not forgetting.
To overlook them is a dangerous delusion.”
-George Ryga

“If the very old will remember, the very young will listen.” - Chief Dan George in My Heart Soars
