2004 / 2005 Season

A Fabulous Disaster

In November of 2004 Ruby Slippers and The Firehall Arts Centre presented the premiere of A Fabulous Disaster, starring and created by Denise Clarke.
 
A tragic comedy of dire warnings and light hearted musings drawing on all things opposite – Denise Clarke has given up and is ready to go. Clarke bought sharply drawn observations and glorious physical response together in a strange but beautiful and funny little show about the whole world and one person in it. Denise Clarke is known for her solo work and for her long-time association with One Yellow Rabbit. Last season she brought her theatre/dance piece Sign Language to Vancouver, and the season before was part of the OYR ensemble in Dream Machine also in Vancouver.

Wanda, a modern New Jersey gal, is having problems with breast implants. Victoria, a tightly corseted Victorian, is waiting to have her ovaries removed. Forgiveness, a wealthy 18th century Chinese woman with bound feet, is waiting to have her toe re-attached. The Waiting Room examines the balance of power between men and women, eastern and western cultures and conventional and unorthodox medicine. Lisa Loomer's ironic comedy asks – at what cost beauty?
