THE 29TH RHUBARB FESTIVAL
CANADA'S PREMIER NEW WORKS FESTIVAL
Feb 20 - Mar 2, 2008
Festival Director Erika Hennebury
The Rhubarb Festival returns following a one-year hiatus. At this year's Rhubarb, we're offering close to one hundred participating artists a critic-free environment in which to play and experiment -- and, after suffering through a "Rhubarb-Free" 2007, we are dying to sample this year's bounty!
Rhubarb is a great chance to catch one-of-a-kind performances, cruise installations, meet the artists, socialize and dance the night away in Tallulah's Cabaret. Rhubarb is Canada's oldest new works fest and is notorious for showcasing the most outrageous acts you'll catch all year-round. The 29th Rhubarb Festival line-up features radical new hybrids of dance, theatre, video, stand-up, musical theatre, opera, animation, storytelling and rock'n'roll - all under one roof.
Evening Passes are available for a lean $15, and that gets you in to your choice of shows and events scheduled for that evening. Rhubarb officially returns on Wed, Feb 20, which includes a post-show Rhubarb Festival Kick Off Bash (beginning at 10:30pm), featuring a screening of Vegetable or Fruit? Weed, Stalk or Root?, Keith Cole's Rhubarb Video Project. The screening will be followed by social revelry in Tallulah's with our favourite DJ Shane MacKinnon.
Once you're in the door, you're in for a wild ride.
