As the performance commences the two artists and the audience are quietly drawn together then abruptly split apart and taken on separate journeys. In two groups the audience follows each of the women. Along the path audience members are led through a series of rooms and corridors and offered shared experiences from various vantage points or perspectives.
Re: Location is a convergence of personal stories, mythology, music, dance and imaginings from Yamamoto and Nann’s Vancouver childhoods. This site-specific work is created for the 2010 Powell Street Festival by Toronto-based contemporary dancer Nann and Vancouver-based theatre artist Yamamoto.
