Events Description
Audiences are invited on an odyssey into the mystery and splendour of Blindness in this multidisciplinary world premiere. RAINBOW ON MARS is Pan’s Labyrinth-meets-The Matrix in a love story inspired by Healey’s own journey into Blindness. It follows a young woman hurled into an upside-down world of fabulists, fabricators and fatalists as she discovers it’s not only her vision that isn’t what it seems. It’s the first-ever play by the award-winning artist and academic, sure to leave Blind and sighted audiences alike with a visceral experience of the extraordinary power of perception.
The project is co-directed by award-winning visually impaired stage combat director Nate Bitton alongside OtM Artistic Director Mitchell Cushman. Rainbow on Mars features a cast of 19 performers with various expressions of Blindness and sight, including dancers of The National Ballet of Canada RBC Apprentice Programme. It is choreographed by the internationally-recognized Robert Binet, one of the country’s leading choreographers and the Artistic Director and Co-CEO of Fall for Dance North.
You’ve never seen live performance like this. In fact you’ve probably never seen like this at all.
