With the COVID-19 outbreak, many shows around the Tri-Cities and the Lower Mainland are cancelled or on hold.
But a Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»theatre company has come up with an experiment to attract audiences in self-isolation: live-stream performances.
Tonight (Thursday), — which runs York Theatre, Historic Theatre and the Vancity Culture Lab — will start broadcasts of Theatre Replacement’s MINE.
The multi-media play follows mother-son narratives — from the Beowulf saga, Bambi and The Terminator — using the video game Minecraft.
The storyline is based on the relationship between Theatre Replacement’s co-artistic director Maiko Yamamoto and her 11-year-old boy, Hokuto.
To tune in Thursday and Friday at 7 p.m. or Sunday at 2 p.m., go to Facebook () or watch it on Theatre Replacement’s Twitch channel.
The events are free and suitable for kids over the age of 10.
