Western Canada High School at High Performance Rodeo, 2020
Something has already started.
A lone right whale sings a love song in an empty ocean seeking it’s mate.
Greta Thunberg sails into New York City, punk as they come.
The smoke from the Forest fires roles into town and Joan of Arc sets off the fire alarm at school.
12 teenagers go to a sleep over party committed to banishing shame and saving the world.
In this beautiful and enthusiastically theatrical piece by the radical young theatre artists of Western Canada high school, you will see the undeniable root of Hope seed a forest at a slumber party. Whale lovers, punks, and reluctant Saints are the anatomy of the revolution. Sounds intense, we know. But we are serious. We mean it. Every. Single. Word.
Revolution or Slumber was the first high school production to be featured in One Yellow Rabbit’s High Performance Rodeo.
