For Édith Piaf

November 3, 2026 - 7:30 PM

Description

Set in France from the 1930s to the 1950s, this musical journey unfolds through the timeless songs of Édith Piaf, evoking stories of love, struggle, and resilience. Inspired by lives shaped in the margins of society, it reflects a period of profound cultural and historical upheaval in Europe. Echoing the poetry of Jacques Prévert, the photography of Cartier-Bresson, and the spirit of resistance during World War II, the performance weaves memory, passion, and history into a tribute to life and survival.

In the spirit of storytelling, we pause to honour this land's ancient and contemporary narratives. We stand upon the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.

Just as we celebrate the diverse voices of immigrant and refugee artists, we recognize the First Peoples who have woven this place's first and enduring tales. Their stories are a testament to resilience, creativity, and the power of community. As we come together from many corners of the world, may we always remember, respect, and learn from this land's stories.
