Sunday, October 2nd | 12pm-4pm
Available 2hrs before / 1hr after other events at Neptune Theatre
Led by Artistic Director Sherry J. Yoon and Artistic Producer Jay Dodge, Boca del Lupo’s original productions are co-created and directed by Sherry and feature Jay’s writing, performances, and designs. During the pair’s tenure, the company has received numerous awards including Jessies for Outstanding Design, Outstanding Production, Significant Artistic Achievement, and Outstanding Performance; the Critic’s Choice Award for Innovation; and the Alcan Performing Arts Award.
For Boca del Lupo, collaboration is the core tenet of their creativity. Working across cultures and disciplines, their productions are energized by the collision and confluence of difference. Since their inception in 1996, Boca del Lupo’s artistic focus has explored cultural hybridity and interdisciplinarity by consciously convening artists from diverse backgrounds and giving them voice within the work through the company’s established processes.
Red Phone
In 2020, Prismatic Arts Festival and Boca del Lupo commissioned local playwright and former Halifax poet laureate Shauntay Grant to write Red Phone’s first Nova Scotian script. This year, audiences will be able to experience Red Phone at Prismatic 2022. Shauntay and her contribution to the project will join the ranks of playwrights across the country whose scripts bring Red Phone to life by engaging strangers in thought-provoking, compelling dialogue.
