Love Gets a Room


Presented with the Vancouver Jewish Film Festival

Love Gets a Room is the story of a Jewish stage actress who must make the gut-wrenching decision to follow her heart or to escape the Warsaw ghetto. Told in real time like director Rodrigo Cortés' acclaimed Buried, the film is a romantic tale of love and survival in the face of harrowing circumstances.

Co-presented with the Vancouver Jewish Film Festival.

    The Narrow Bridge

    This new immersive experimental theatre work by Vancouver theatre artist Ariel Martz-Oberlander explores the themes of the classic 1912 Yiddish play The Dybbuk and why it is so indelible in the Jewish theatre repertoire. In collaboration with Chimerik, a digital multimedia collective and shadow puppetry company Mind of a Snail, the work depicts a rich and beautiful world infused with cultural practices and joyful survival. Pomarantz’s approach frames “healing” not as an individual and linear journey, but as a collective political and cultural act, which is messy, strange, circular, ancestral, shattering, transformative and ongoing with a primarily Jewish creative team finding their place in the Canadian Mad arts community as early career artists.

    FORGE

    Part of the Festival’s exploration of how artists address difficult histories, FORGE is a captivating multi-day performance piece examining how places of trauma are memorialized. Jewish, Queer UK artist Rachel Mars builds and rebuilds a replica of the replica gate installed at Dachau after the original was stolen, accompanied by a soundscape drawn from her surroundings and resonant locations from around the world.Audiences are invited to don protective clothing and enter the welding space to witness the work for as long as they like, first encountering an exhibition which puts the action in context.  Visitors to the JCC's Zack Gallery can observe the action via live stream. The work concludes on November 19 at 11am with a live musical performance by a local band as Mars finishes the project and a concluding ritual is performed. PLEASE NOTE: FORGE is presented in an indoor/outdoor industrial studio space. While spectators are invited into the studio space to view the work, and heaters are provided, the ambient temperature is affected by the outside weather, and can be chilly. We recommend dressing in warm outdoor clothing when visiting.   Presented with the participation of the Sidney & Gertrude Zack Gallery, the Vancouver Holocaust Education Centre and CMHC-Granville Island.Timed tickets $18; By donation (suggested $18) at the door, subject to availability
