   “A gripping tale of heart and humanity… a stunning success.” - stratfordtoday.ca
   It’s 1939, the year of King George’s first Royal Tour of Canada, and rumour has it that a Residential School in Northern Ontario is on the itinerary. As the Welsh English-teacher rehearses her students for a performance of All’s Well That Ends Well for the King, the Indigenous actors discover surprising parallels between their various cultures and Shakespeare’s script—and set out to make his bittersweet comedy their own.
   1939 runs October 29 – November 24 with Pay What You Can tickets available for all performances. Contact the Belfry Theatre Box Office for more information.

   Deluge Contemporary Art
   636 Yates Street, Victoria | Wed to Sat, 12 to 5pm 
   Presented as an installation in the Deluge space, Radicle City is a cinematic essay which imagines a future in which Bangalore’s gardens no longer exist. Narrated as a poetic address by a voice who has grown up in a city without trees, the film’s hybrid documentary and fictional narrative recovers and reinterprets archive footage of an unknown walker’s journey along a park that marks an old line of colonial segregation in the city. This is an old border with new lines: today the city is India's "silicon valley," an IT hub at the heart of a network of global capitalism and one of India's most historically divided cities. Moving restlessly back and forth between past and possible future, the film is at once an investigation into the city's complex colonial entanglements and their afterlives, and an elegy to the city’s gardens, fragile spaces of resistance in a metropolis which threatens their destruction.
