The Tempus Theatre presents the Western Canadian premiere of 36 Views, a romance-mystery-con game from Japanese-American playwright Naomi Iizuka: "Culture and commodity. Fetish and forgery. Personal and professional revenge are all exposed in 36 Views by Naomi Iizuka." Oh juicy! Now playing from May 1-23 at the Jericho Arts Centre, 36 Views is directed by Anthony F. Ingram.
36 Views Synopsis:
An art dealer and an art historian discover what appears to be an ancient manuscript, a priceless Japanese pillow book created by a medieval courtesan. As they try to prove its authenticity, their search becomes an erotic game of greed, love, and sleight-of-hand. In a series of 36 interlocking scenes, Naomi Iizuka's play explores the relationship between the imaginary and the real, and the lines and spaces that separate feelings and words, objects and images of objects, antiques and reproductions, and a person's heritage and physical features. Culture and commodity, fetish and forgery, and personal and professional revenge are all exposed in 36 Views.
