PuSh International Performing Arts Festival presents Clark and I Somewhere in Connecticut
January 28th to January 30th, 2010
Clark and I Somewhere in Connecticutis one of the most notorious theatre pieces to come out of Vancouver in recent memory. In the summer of 2005 James Long salvaged seven photo albums and travel journals from an alley near his East Vancouver home. The collection, complete with detailed captions and letters, documents a family’s history between 1950 and 1987, and includes everything from birth notices to a full eulogy for the archivist’s Toy Pomeranian, Mandy. Two years later, a team of collaborators traveled in search of the origins of these books, and ran into some serious questions surrounding the legality and morality of working with found materials. This encore presentation is a part of the show’s current Western Canadian tour.
