Editor’s choice

Julia Feyrer and Tamara Henderson: The Last Waves

And now for something completely hallucinatory: for their installation show The Last Waves, artists Julia Feyrer and Tamara Henderson invite you into immersive theatrical sets. At The Night Times Press Bar for Dreamers, you can read a Night Times newspaper documenting the two artists’ dreams, or watch a film shot at the old Belvedere Court apartments on Main Street. Or you can take in the surreal film Bottles Under the Influence (shown here), in which historic glass vessels become characters. Expect it to be a real trip.

Julia Feyrer and Tamara Henderson: The Last Waves is at the Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery from Tuesday (September 6) to December 4.

Guest pick

Love, Lust & Lace

Our choice comes from Deb Pickman, member of shameless hussy productions, as well as marketing and communications manager of UBC Arts & Culture District, which cohosts UBC’s Harvest Feastival on September 22, an epic outdoor dinner for 1,000, followed by exclusive shows and exhibits.
“I promise Love, Lust & Lace from Gas Pedal Productions is a must-see at the Vancouver Fringe Festival. This sexy and smart show was devised by the company at UBC with Axis Theatre artistic director Chris McGregor. It’s already been performed on campus to overwhelming acclaim.”

The Vancouver Fringe Festival presents Love, Lust & Lace at the Firehall Arts Centre on September 8, 10, 11, 13, 15, and 17.
