People You May Know
One Yellow Rabbit
Always pushing the boundaries, Calgary’s favourite theatre
ensemble premieres their latest creation, a layered razor-sharp romp with
multi-media.
People You May Know
is a comedy entangling people on both sides of a financial scheme gone badly
awry. Utilizing simple digital effects with basic photo software, One Yellow
Rabbit creates a projected community of characters using three performers.
Performances are live, the slightly digitized characters are projected above,
resulting in a digital puppet chorus: victims and villains, the venal and the
virtuous.
Directed by Blake Brooker, People You May Know stars Denise Clarke, Andy Curtis and David Rhymer. Their characters are recognizable; they could live next door, work at your bank, or sit next to you on the train. You could be with them in a store, on the street; they could be stopped beside you at a red light. They could be People You May Know.
