Pi Theatre presents At the Speed of Light online from March 21 to April 4
SET BETWEEN VANCOUVER and Vienna, At the Speed of Light is a new audio drama for three voices by Peter Dickinson.
Exploring human interaction and entanglement, it’s described as a show about “queer friendship, family dysfunction, theories of relativity, trolling neo-Nazis, and the musical genius of Swedish pop star Robyn”.
Dickinson (The Objecthood of Chairs, Long Division) is a professor in the School for the Contemporary Arts at Simon Fraser University. He has published extensively on theatre, dance, film, and live art and is the author most recently of My Vancouver Dance History: Story, Movement, Community (McGill-Queen’s University Press, 2020).
Melissa Oei, Amber Lewis, and Brett Harris perform the piece that’s directed by Richard Wolfe and features sound design and musical compositions by David Mesiha.
