BUDDIES IN BAD TIMES THEATRE PROUDLY ANNOUNCES PROGRAMMING FOR HYSTERIA, ITS 5TH BIENNIAL INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL OF WORK BY WOMEN.
Now in its fifth incarnation, HYSTERIA has become one of Buddies in Bad Times Theatre's most eagerly anticipated events. Over a ten-day period Buddies plays host to rapid-fire succession of events ranging from a visual art display and performance installations to eclectic lineups featuring dance, film, music, spoken word and theatre performances.
"In 2003 this unique showcase was but a glimmer in our feminist eyes, and now, six years later it is a notable festival of international renown that has played host to established and emerging artists from across Canada, the United States and Europe - broadening our vision of not only women artists but of the very potential of art itself.
Hysteria is a celebration of the indomitable spirit of the artist where passion and creativity fly in the face of economic uncertainty and diminished opportunity.
This year's festival promises to live up to your expectations of artistic excellence and diversity with performances by TBL [TallBlondLadies] from Sweden and Germany, Canadian performance art and video icon, Shawna Dempsey from Winnipeg, American spoken word superstar Staceyann Chin and Drag legend milDRED just to name a few. Local legends share the stage with artists from across the continent as we offer up two riotous cabaret evenings Mass Hysteria and The Invert Parade. Never a dull moment and a new program everyday, Hysteria has something (actually a whole lot!) for everyone."
- Moynan King, Festival Director
