Guernica at the Edmonton Fringe

"Every act of creation is first an act of destruction."
- Pablo Picasso

On April 26, 1937, a small Spanish town was attacked by aerial bombers. Nearly everything was destroyed, but from the rubble came creation: a painting, one that would preserve the town’s people beyond any human lifespan. This is the story of that creation – the story of Picasso’s Guernica.

Show History: Guernica was first seen at a staged reading in Nextfest 2010 as part of the Enbridge High School Reading Series. In June 2011, Guernica was presented as a mainstage production at Nextfest. In August, the show will be playing at the Edmonton International Fringe Festival.

All shows at Phabrik Art and Design Centre (formerly Planet Ze), 10055 - 80 Avenue.

Molière’s 1666 satire of French aristocracy is re-imagined by one of Britain’s leading theatrical voices. Martin Crimp places the Misanthrope in a contemporary cult of celebrity, in order to portray men as they are: foolish, righteous, and horny for the young bombshell movie star who soaks up all the attention.

TUDOR QUEENS: A BURLESQUE - more Walterdale Connections at Fringe 2011

THIS FRINGE.... HEADS WILL ROLL

Edmonton's newest burlesque theatre company, SEND IN THE GIRLS BURLESQUE brings the corset-ripping story of Henry VIII to the stage
Part basement burlesque show, part sexy and scintillating historical thriller, Tudor Queens: A Burlesque marries the art form of burlesque with the medium of theatre to tell the gruesome downfall of six of England’s most legendary queen consorts.
About Tudor Queens: A Burlesque
Trapped together in purgatory, the six queens of the house of Tudor are forced to retell their story over and over. As they strip away their royal robes, they strip fact from fiction and slowly piece together their collective existence as wives to the one of the most famous and bloody kings in England’s history. Partial nudity, some mature themes and strong language.
