THE DROWNING GIRLS | May 13 - June 11, 2022

Bessie. Alice. Margaret. All three women thought George Joseph Smith was the man of their dreams. Now all three are dead. The Drowning Girls is a lyrical exploration of a trio of murdered wives who gather evidence against their murderous husband by reliving the shocking events leading up to their deaths. One Yellow Rabbit Co-Founders Blake Brooker and Denise Clarke lead an incredible creative team in bringing this macabre fantasia to the Vertigo stage.

ARTIST TALK WITH ADAD HANNAH | May 17, 2022

Join internationally renowned artist Adad Hannah, as he speaks about his artwork, in particular his project The Raft of the Medusa: Saint-Louis, currently on view at Glenbow. Since 2001 Adad Hannah has been working on his series Stills; silent videos that exist at the intersection of performance, photography, and video. Based on the 19th-century practice of tableaux vivants, Hannah’s videos, photographs, and installations look at how we perform as spectators, and how our gaze can be a constructive one as we try to make sense of ourselves and the world around us.
