How to Build An Empire: A Boy Scout's Guide
May 21, 2008
Critical Canadiana Explores Narratives of Nationalism at this year's Fringe Festival
Ever feel like something or someone is lurking just behind you, watching your every move? Away from home for the first time on a Boy Scout camping expedition, the young scout Sam can't help but feel that something is following him and his pack on their wilderness adventures. Meanwhile, in a not so far away time and place, a young drama teacher is attempting to mount a version of Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book, only to be plagued by persistent interruption.
Opening for the first time at this year's Fringe of Toronto Theatre Festival, 'How to Build An Empire: A Boy Scout's Guide', mounted by company No Time for Metaphors, offers a fragmented look at a fragmented Canada. Written and performed by Peterborough native Stacy Douglas, this exploration of nationalist narratives is set to a live musical score, performed by local 'punk-hop' band 'Hush Money,' directed by James Burrows, and featuring Diana Yoo.
Join a boy scout, a drama teacher and some haunting shadows, as this one woman show provides a how-to-guide to historical and contemporary forms of imperialism, colonialism and what it means to be Canadian.
