Trees.Listen | Live Performance With Sharlene Wallace

Join us on August 10th at the Sunset Theatre for a live performance of “Trees.Listen” with Sharlene Wallace!

Trees.Listen is an immersive sonic journey co-composed by Frank Horvat and Sharlene Wallace and inspired by the profound knowledge of acclaimed botanist and climate change visionary Dr. Diana Beresford-Kroeger and her book, To Speak for the Trees. This soundscape comes to life with the intimate and evocative tones of the Celtic lever harp fused with meticulously crafted electronic atmosphere and projections of Sharlene’s photographs. Experience the resonance of trees through the harp’s voice as every movement captures the spirit and wisdom of each tree. Trees.Listen is a musical storytelling experience that weaves the ancient past with modern sound design, offering a new way of “listening” to the planet.

Theatre in the Bog

Theatre in the Bog

Featuring a lineup of the best and brightest artists from the Cariboo and beyond, Theatre in the Bog offers playful, daring theatre mixed with a healthy dose of folksy charm.⁠

Brian Fidler, the Artistic Director of Ramshackle Theatre, is working with artists and theatre makers to create magic in the bog just on the edge of Wells. Get out of the black box and see just how wild theatre can be!⁠

Set in the meadow on the edge of the town of Wells, on the traditional territory of the Lhtako Dene, in an area with significant land use of the Dakelh and Secwépemc peoples, Theatre in the Bog leaves the seats and stages behind, allowing creators to explore beyond the boundaries of conventional theatre. Against a backdrop of scrubby spruce, pine, and willow, audiences are led through the woods to see original performances that artists have cooked up over the course of a week.⁠

Visit https://islandmountainarts.tickit.ca/events/30482-theatre-in-the-bog to purchase tickets!

This is an outdoor event, so please dress for the weather. Wear some good shoes, as participants will be walking from site to site.⁠

Funding for this project is made possible through the assistance of Touring Artist Fund, Department of Tourism and Culture, John Streicker, Minister.⁠

Theatre in the Bog is made possible through BC Arts Council, Canada Council for the Arts, and the Department of Canadian Heritage.⁠
