How to Disappear Completely

Synopsis:
Award-winning lighting designer and storyteller Itai Erdal draws on a life lived between his birthplace, Jerusalem, and home in Vancouver. In 2000, he was told his mother had nine months to live. Combining the power of story telling with the nuanced potency of stage lighting, Erdal demonstrates his approach to theatrical lighting to poignant effect as he reflects on events that followed his mother asking him to take her life. 'the show's pacing is impeccable. Erdal balances humor, beauty, and tragedy with the expertise of a tightrope walker' (Portland Monthly). '. . .terrific story teller' (Herald Chronicle).

Notes:
written by Itai Erdell in collaboration with James Long, Anita Rochon and Emelia Symington Fedy

Winners and Losers

Winners and Losers
theatre artists and long-time friends Marcus and James sit at a table and play a game they made up called Winners and Losers. In it, they name people, places or things  Pamela Anderson, microwave ovens, their fathers, Goldman Sachs  and debate whether or not they are winners or losers. As Marcus and James seek to defeat each other, the debate becomes more and more personal as they dissect each other's familial and class histories. Winners and Losers is a conversation that tests capitalism's impact on our closest personal relationships, and our most intimate experiences of self.

Notes:
Written and performed by Marcus Youssef and James Long
