Project/ Everything Gone, Everything Shone

Everything Gone, Everything Shone was a collaboration between Maiko Yamamoto, Conor Wylie and acting students from the National Theatre School of Canada. As part of a creation project, Yamamoto & Wylie worked with the same cohort of students in each year of their training over 3 years to create this new work. The piece launched the season of the class’ graduating year, presented at the Monument-National in Montréal. 

The Tower appeared. The world went dark. The Tower appeared. The world went dark. The Tower appeared. The world went dark. This is how it is. This is how it has always been…

Everything Gone, Everything Shone is a wild odyssey to the origins of the universe—with gods, animals, and astrophysicists.

Created and Performed by Nora Barker, Bénédicte Bélizaire, Jessica Rose, Juliette Diodati, Olaoluwa Fayokun, Dylan Hawco, Seeara Lindsay, Fatima Lopez and Mirza سرحان.
