PHOTOG: an imaginary look at the uncompromising life of Thomas Smith

Boca del Lupo (Canada)

November 17-20, 2010 | $35 | | 90 min.

visual artstheatre

World Premiere

Drawn from real life accounts of top conflict photographers.

One of Vancouver's premier performance companies examines the juxtapositions and internal struggles that many conflict photographers experience between foreign soil and home turf; between privilege and suffering; between disconnect and belonging; between war and peace.

This exploration of one conflict photographer's final moments aims to artistically reconcile a life of extreme landscapes, incorporating verbatim text, dazzling physicality, computer animation, video and traditional theatre. The end result is a deeper connection between our own lives and the lives of those we see in the news every day.

Part of Fresh Ground new works, Harbourfront Centre's national commissioning programme.

EXTRAS

PHOTOG Installation
November 17-20
- For every picture published from conflicts around the world, there are thousands of others that are never seen. In a new installation in the lobby of the Enwave Theatre, the three conflict photographers consulted for PHOTOG display discarded images from their life-altering experiences. Do we ever see the whole story? There's more than meets the eye.

-Robert Capa, conflict photographer
