My dear, strange, lovely, loyal, patient patrons – 

IT'S HERE. IT'S TIME. 

Below you will find a link to a Google Form and a private, unlisted Vimeo link to one of my act runs from Monday May 1st, 2023 at Le Monastère in Montréal, QC.

Carve out a few quiet minutes for yourself, grab a cup or glass of your preferred hot or cold beverage, and settle in to see what all this fuss has amounted to after these long months (years?) of hacking away at this idea! I'm looking forward to seeing your thoughts about where it exists in the here-and-now, and I'm looking forward to letting this piece continue to develop and grow now that it's been able to stretch its wings out in the real world a little –

The act is 8 minutes long.

There is some short text in the "DESCRIPTION" box on the private, unlisted Vimeo link for you to read if you'd like a context reminder / memory-jog on the world this piece is living in.

I appreciate any time you care to give to the efforts of filling out the Google Form feedback for me!

I say this in the Google Form but this is REALLY IMPORTANT so I'm repeating it here, up front – 

Please, please, please do not share this link with ANYONE;

Please, please,
please do not post or share this link ANYWHERE.

I'm trying very hard for the full run of this act to not appear anywhere publicly on the internet for some time (or possibly ever, other than here).

I'm going to be in post-production on the short circus film version of this act this summer, and THAT (or pieces of it) are what I'll share online, eventually. 

This kind of uncut, single-take video is mainly for the purpose of pitching the work to producers and casting folks – not for the all-consuming eyes of the internet to slurp up rapidly and move on from without a second thought.

I trust you all <3 And I can't wait to hear what you think.

Without further ado ...

Le Numéro Barbette.

Until then, stay strange & wonderful

🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩!!!!! ESS! The transition from lighthearted joie de vivre to the upheaval...😭😭😭. The trepidatious offering of the headpiece under duress. Tumult. Despair. The perseverance & strength that closes. 😭🫶 I feel heartache watching. But, more importantly, hopeful. Thank you for edifying us on the life of Van der Clyde Broodway. The parallels to current social/political climate are so scary. I feel heartache watching. But, more importantly, hopeful.

How incredible. I'd put off watching this as I wanted to do it justice and to have the spoons to contribute a response. Thank you so much for trusting us with this.
