Here are more highlights at the rEvolver Theatre Festival, which runs from Wednesday (May 11) to May 22 at the Cultch:

Okay.Odd. promises to be just that. From the creative minds of the local interdisciplinary arts company Hong Kong Exile comes this utterly confounding but wonderfully ambitious experience, which promises to be part spiritual retreat and part social commentary.

Silenced, the newest offering from Vancouver’s Urban Ink, the indigenous and intercultural performance company, explores the lives and stories silenced within our communities—and challenges our own complicity, inadvertent or otherwise, in the silencing of the most vulnerable and marginalized among us.

Charisma Furs, cowritten and performed by Toronto’s Katie Sly, is a solo show that’s both wildly intimate and just plain wild. Sly recounts a variety of personal experiences (winning a school-yard soccer game, submitting for the first time to a dominatrix) and shares her perspective on everything from growing up poor to coming out as queer—through storytelling, dance, standup comedy, and origami.

Vancouver’s Cause & Effect Circus uses juggling, props, and choreography to serve up engaging comedy and social commentary in The New Conformity, which compares the supposed comfort of fitting in to the freedom of independent thinking, as three coworkers attempt to stop their lives from devolving into chaos.
