L'Apocalypse

Rose
VISION ET MISSION
​
L'Apocalypse en rose cherche à élargir ce que c'est le théâtre et en faisant ceci, créer un monde plus consciencieux.
Visant ce but, L'Apocalypse en rose crée du théâtre qui explore les normes théâtraux: l'espace, la relation entre spectateur et comédien et comment ils interagissent, etc. pour mieux profiter de la nature immédiate du médium. Tout ceci pour questionner les normes sociaux et promouvoir la justice en pensée et en action.

​À propos de la compagnie, c'est vraiment juste à propos de moi. Bonjour! Je m'appel Eric et je suis un comédien et un metteur en scène qui fait du théâtre qui est (souvent littéralement) hors la boîte. Souvent c'est littéralement dans la boîte, mais hors la boîte dans un sens figuré. Le plus important, c'est jouer avec l'espace. Mais jouer avec autre choses aussi. T'es un peu perdu? C'est correct, tout le monde ici est en train d'apprendre ce qu'ils font. Tout le monde, c'est toujours moi, mais toi aussi maintenant! Je veux que les gens questionnent les choses dans notre société qu'ils prennent pour acquis, et ceci est souvent une expérience troublant. Troublant, mais necessaire.

Eric a étudié le jeu de l'acteur à l'Université de Winnipeg dans le programme Acting Honours, et la théorie théâtrale et la mise-en-scène à l'Université de Nice Sophia Antipolis dans le programme Master Arts du spectacle.
This is a call...
Rose Coloured Apocalypse is just me. Theatre is not a solo medium. Revolution is not an individual endeavour. I’m looking for people interested in creating Theatre for the Revolution*. The gaps in my abilities lie in the administrative and production side of things, but I encourage anyone to reach out! We are stronger in numbers! I’m a white, non-disabled enby, and I to want encourage diverse people to reach out, as it's hard to challenge the status-quo from different angles if all you have is one perspective.
*I know what that means to me, but what that will look like for RCA in the future will depend on what that looks like to you!
​
Finding money is part of the process, and part of the reason for this call. The goal is to pay anyone involved with RCA for the work they do, at or above industry standard. This is my career, but I don’t make money unless everyone involved is making money.
Who is “anyone”? Anyone is anyone with time and energy to commit to revolution through theatre. “We” want to build a structure that works for those involved. We’re not looking to recreate hierarchical, colonial structures that put some above others, for whatever reason. We’re looking to build a community, no matter the size. Theatre people who want to help build community, or community builders who are interested in theatre, please reach out!
Theatre for the Revolution is any theatre that inspires revolutionary action or thought, any theatre that challenges the toxic status quo of our world. It is intersectional, recognizing that It can be expressly revolutionary or not, it can be a call to action or not, it can be participatory or not. It can break theatrical conventions, or follow them to a tee. It might not even look like theatre. “We” tend to lean toward the expressly revolutionary, and community building.
Those interested, please send a message here, with a quick “hey I’m interested” or the like. Feel free to include any info you’d like in the initial message, but we’ll get to such details. This is already long enough.
Rose Coloured Apocalypse operates on the lands of the Anishinaabeg, Cree, Dakota, and Dene peoples and the homeland of the Métis nation. While this is Treaty 1 territory, we recognize that the treaties were not signed in good faith, nor upheld by colonizers and were in many ways harmful to the people who lived here for tens of thousands of years prior to colonization. We recognize the rights of the Indigenous peoples living on this land, and that these rights are not being respected by the settler-colonial state that is Canada. The art we create, and our mission and vision are heavily informed by these facts, and we strive to do what we can to make things right, recognize that we will make mistakes along the way, and seek to learn from them to be better accomplices to the original peoples of this land. We support the Land Back movement and stand in solidarity with all colonized peoples from Turtle Island to Palestine.
