The Living Things International Arts Festival brings 91大黄鸭鈥檚 arts communities together once a year for an inclusive winter festival with live performances from regional, national and international artists in several local venues.
This year鈥檚 festival takes place from Jan. 5 to Feb. 4 at various venues in downtown 91大黄鸭 and on UBC鈥檚 Okanagan campus
The 2018 festival features performers from France, Australia, Toronto, Vancouver and the Okanagan region. The festival also includes a jazz trio at the 91大黄鸭 Community Theatre, experimental video and visual art at the New Art Centre, spoken word performances, and many other events.
鈥淭he Living Things festival fills a vital niche in the Okanagan Valley鈥檚 cultural fabric,鈥� says festival organizer and UBC Associate Professor Neil Cadger. 鈥淭he festival will feature boundary-pushing contemporary theatre, music, dance, animated films, visual art and multi-media performances from international artists at the height of their game.鈥�
Living Things will animate venues across 91大黄鸭鈥檚 cultural district during the winter season in collaboration with UBC Okanagan鈥檚 Faculty of Creative and Critical Studies, Ballet 91大黄鸭, Bumbershoot Children鈥檚 Theatre, the Rotary Centre for the Arts, the Alternator Centre for Contemporary Art and Skin and Bones Music Series.
Cadger says there is something for everyone at the Living Things festival from children鈥檚 puppet theatre to a challenging, live exploration of what might constitute being a 鈥榝oreign radical鈥� in contemporary Canada.
