All tickets are sold for two stagings of Body Parts at Surrey Arts Centre this Friday and Saturday (April 27-28).
The Studio Theatre is where Tara Cheyenne Friedenberg will perform her empowering, hour-long solo show, 8 p.m. nightly at 13750 88 Ave.
Part of Surrey Civic Theatres’ comedy series, Body Parts finds Friedenberg trying to perform her show but getting comically sidetracked by her own body issues.
It’s a “show within a show” that never actually starts — or does it?
All tickets are now sold-out on tickets.surrey.ca, where they were priced from $29 to $39, depend on the zone.
“Part stand-up comedy, part Greek tragedy, part contemporary dance, and 100% relatable, this show leads audiences through Tara’s personal landscape of body dysmorphia and self-loathing with her signature approach to performance: biting humour, insightful social commentary, and intimate honesty,” says a post on surrey.ca.
“Hilarious and empowering, this revelatory and joyous show invites us to enjoy the amazing things our bodies can do and laugh through the tears together. Audience advisory: contains swear words, suggestive language, and underwear. Suggested age 13+.”
Friedenberg’s bio says she has been creating and performing signature works since graduating from SFU. “She is recognized as the preeminent dance-theatre force and sought-after choreographer in Vancouver and beyond. Performing highlights: DanceBase/Edinburgh, South Bank Centre/London, On the Boards/Seattle USA, High Performance Rodeo/Calgary.”
