The Democratic Set Lives On!
January 31, 2020
PuSh hosted a pink carpet film premiere at the Roundhouse Saturday night, filled with movie stars. They weren’t just any movie stars… they were stars from the local community featured in The Democratic Set.
This year at PuSh, Back to Back Theatre and Neworld invited the public to take part in The Democratic Set – a bare “set”, available on a first come, first serve basis, uninhibited by hierarchy, direction, or any preconceived agenda.
For three days kids, adults, arts groups, and even Roundhouse technicians, strutted their stuff, occupying The Democratic Set with an array of creative approaches, statements, and ideas.
Back to Back’s final film offers a poetic convergence of the perspectives that were shared, and PuSh is excited to see these performances live on!
Thanks to all who came out to perform in and witness this project, and thanks to Back to Back Theatre for bringing your work to PuSh and to Vancouver!
