Frivolous Fools Performance

The Hudson Bay Epic—MTC Mainstage

Calgary’s quirky collective, Frivolous Fools Performance, takes on one of Canada’s most significant historic events and turns it on its head.

By using their set as a musical instrument, Frivolous Fools merge fact, fiction and fantasy to reveal a forbidden romance set against the hostile backdrop of Henry Hudson’s ice locked expedition to find the Northwest Passage. As language moves between prose, rhyme and song, three actors jump between ten characters while creating a live soundscape on an acoustic ship made out of junk!
