SUMMARY:Rita Sheena
DESCRIPTION:A story is told through spiraling movement and dance\, as we follow Suzanne through 12 Leonard Cohen songs performed by First Aid Kit. \nEVERYBODY KNOWS was first performed at the Vancouver Fringe Festival in 2021\, and went on tour in 2022 and 2023. Now in its 7th and final iteration\, this Fringe favorite returns with more songs\, new choreography\, and bold costumes. We witness the evolution of Suzanne as her character claws towards completing another grueling Hero’s Journey. \nRita Sheena created this show with her background in classic and contemporary dance styles\, love for theatre\, and decades of Leonard Cohen devotion.
