Details

A good-bye party made specifically for a city. On an ordinary night, in a place you might pass by every day, two performers make several attempts at saying goodbye to all the past and future people to leave the city. Using a camera and some really long cords they transform a public street corner into a live video backdrop, and play with audience participation to make saying goodbye a little easier to do. Farewell offers you the opportunity to come together for one night, to be a part of something more, something bigger than yourselves, something that could be the future. They also imagine the place if everyone that left had stayed. Created and Performed by Dustin Harvey (Secret Theatre, Halifax) and Chad Dembski (Surprise Performance, Montreal). The Farewell Project had its first public presentation as Farewell Cardiff at Experimentica last October. It has also presented as Farewell Halifax in Nova Scotia and Farewell Aarhus in Denmark. It is an ongoing project of Secret Theatre.
