About Video Phase
Based in Montreal, Canada, Video Phase is the result of the collaboration between two musicians-creators, Julien-Robert and Julien Compagne. Their goal was to develop a new kind of art that equally combines music, video, and technology. The duo creates a synesthesia between their musical and visual universes, one representing the other and vice versa. The visual component of their shows is totally interactive; this gives them the freedom to improvise and preserves the magic of live performance. With the use of technology, they seek to provide the audience with more than a regular concert – a real multi-sensory experience.

About Lumens
Lumens, the second original creation of the group, explores the link between virtual and reality by creating a 3D multi-screen environment projected in front of and around the audience. The two creators give life to music and image in real time, like an interactive musical video game. An immersive multimedia performance with musical instruments like drumpads, electronic instruments, laser frames, motion capture by Kinect, and even… water! A show you need to hear with your own eyes.

Harbourfront S.T.E.A.M Event
STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics) is an education model that allows people to better explore the world around them and create new and innovative ideas.

Join us before the show and explore music in a whole new way with a hands-on discovery display created by STEAM PEI open to the public from 6:30 PM-7:30 PM, and then see how music, video, and technology work together in Video Phase: Lumens from 7:30-8:45 PM.

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 3rd, 7:30 PM at the Harbourfront Theatre
All Seats: $32.00 tax & fees included

“They came from far and wide and with enormous expectations. He wasn’t about to let them down – ‘Ladies and gentlemen I shall now stop the rotation of the earth for three full seconds!’”

The one and only Dr. Professor Kubínek is a COMIC GENIUS, VIRTUOSO VAUDEVILLIAN, and all-around charmer who gives audiences an utterly joyous experience they’ll remember for a lifetime.

His latest creation, TOMÁŠ KUBÍNEK – MIRACLE MAN, is a rip-roaring revival of strong-man stunts, couples-counseling, snake-healings, and mass-hypnosis that leaves audiences dazed, beaming and in love with life once again.

Age Advisory: 8 to 108
Please note that due to the focused nature of this performance this program is not recommended for young children.

“Masterfully played comedy…that secret mixture of daring, talent, and utter foolishness…” Santa Fe Reporter

“Hilarious and enormously talented.” TimeOut, London

“The audience sits transfixed, gleefully awaiting each new moment of mad brilliance.” Badische Zeitung, Germany

Four Tellers Telling It All

September 7 – 9 → The Four Tellers

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After three years of playing to packed houses in theatres across the Island The Four Tellers return to Victoria  with their latest storytelling show called
The Last Laugh.

As in previous years the show is comprised, for the most part, of four friends and master-storytellers, Denny King, Gary Evans, Alan Buchanan and David Weale, sitting around a table swapping stories of the Island that invariably have the audience roaring with laughter, or sometimes, brushing aside a tear.

Also, woven into the storytelling are the sparkling musical  arrangements of Rachael Beck and Bennett Buell.

The unique charm of the Tellers is the spontaneous, unscripted quality of the show which allows the audience to feel they are right there, in the kitchen, as the stories roll out, one drawing the next, like tissues out of a box.

As one reviewer, Gordon Cobb, wrote: “Between the hoots and the hollers and the almost tears, there is the feeling in the theatre of being fully human. And fully alive. Catch it while you can.”

Catch the Tellers at the Victoria Playhouse.
