The name of our company, Boca del Lupo, is in itself a metaphor that illuminates another of our core values. Since its inception taking real creative risks have been the mainstay of our artistic vitality. Embarking on unorthodox and sometimes controversial models of creation, developing technology and combining mediums in risky and innovative ways, taking theatre to unexpected locations and pushing the boundaries of narrative structure, Boca del Lupo's hallmark is one of experimentation, challenge and risk. Without a doubt there will always be a place for the classics along with contemporary additions to the theatrical canon but there must also always be a place for new forms, performance experiments and unexpected collisions of genre and medium. Boca del Lupo is committed to experimentation and equally devoted to artistic excellence sustaining our collaborative experiments with the time and resources needed. THE PERFECTIONIST Inspired by the work of UBC's Dr. Paul Hewitt and his "Perfectionist Lab", The Perfectionist follows the deceptively simple lives of a man and a woman in their hilarious and heartbreaking attempts to hurdle their own impossibly high standards. In this collaboration, mediums collide as the quirky imagery of Yukon animation artist Jay White, the evocative lighting of John Webber, the haunting compositions of Joelysa Pankanea, and the engaging performances of Sherry J. Yoon, Jay Dodge and Steve Charles come together under the inventive direction of New York's Jill A. Samuels. The Perfectionist premiered for Vancouver audiences as part of See Seven's full season of plays in January of 2006 and as a Satellite show in the 2006 PuSH International Performing Arts Festival. The national tour also took the show to the University of Alberta and to the Free Fall Festival in Toronto. Creators/ Performers: Sherry J. Yoon and Jay Dodge "...by God it's original...what's really arresting is the poetic sensibility created...The Perfectionist is transcendent...Nobody else is doing work like this." - Colin Thomas, Georgia Straight "Boca always leaves me dazzled by images and The Perfectionist abounds in them...You really have to see this show to believe it." - Jo Ledingham, The Courier "(The Perfectionist is) filled with Boca del Lupo's characteristic charm." - Peter Birnie, The Vancouver Sun |
