DIVINITY BASH / nine lives

“A perfect example of Imago Theatre fulfilling its solemn dedication to supporting theatre that is provocative, challenging and innovative in unconventional modes of production” (Westside, May 2002)

Written and Directed by: Bryden MacDonald
Venue: duMaurier Theatre of the Monument-National, Montreal
Dates: May 9th - 26th, 2002

Divinity Bash / nine lives is a non-linear epic tale centring around one man's descent through the cracks of society into the underworld of a major city. It is a gritty poetic odyssey, funny in the darkest, richest way. Giving distinct and colourful voices to the disenfranchised, Divinity Bash bashes space and time with its unconventional structure, bypassing sentimentality, proving a mystical urban roller coaster ride that speaks directly to our condition as human beings, in this new and rapidly evolving (or dissolving?) century.
