Event Description

In DARK SOUNDS, poets Garth Martens and Jan Zwicky will perform alongside guitarist Gareth Owen and dancer Denise Yeo. Their focus is the dark core of sex, family, love, of being human. Personal sorrows that pile up while smoke steeples the horizon. They're doing something new, fusing North American speech with the intensity of flamenco to offer urgent truth-telling about our cultural and planetary situation.

Each performance is followed by a conversation with the artists led by writer and therapist Melanie Siebert.

Space is limited. Tickets at an 18% discount are available right now. Order yours here:

“There's virtuosity to burn in this hour of dance, music, and poetry. I know next to nothing about flamenco traditions, but the sensual pleasures of this show are many… Let it wash over you.”
—The Georgia Straight

“I don't know how to describe what it is that they do. It's like they harness gravity, and you don't know if you're floating or sinking as you watch them. After I saw them perform for the first time, I wanted to tell them how much I loved the show, and the only honest thing I could do was to shake my head and swear.... I promise you beauty and intensity and artistry of the highest calibre.”
—Anne-Marie Turza, author of The Quiet and Fugue With Bedbug

“WOW .... This unique marriage of talents creates an incredible experience… Powerful and primal exaltations of people who refuse to be cowed.”
—Janis La Couvée, reviewer for the Victoria Fringe Festival

“Equal-parts passionate and desolate … guaranteed to captivate…”
—Showbill Canada
