Audiences are invited to join Mascall Dance at the Anvil Theatre for the Canadian premiere of The Impossible Has Already Happened, an unforgettable 60-minute love letter from the ocean, on October 27 at 7:30 pm.
Created through an international co-production between Mascall Dance and Footnote New Zealand Dance, The Impossible Has Already Happened allows choreographers from two nations to examine water’s power to sustain, nourish, disrupt, and dazzle. Canada’s Jennifer Mascall and Aotearoa/New Zealand’s Claire O’Neil draw audiences into a journey through a collection of personal stories, prompting considerations of our relationship with water.
Potent but not bleak, and often humorous, the production plays with scale, the enormity of the climate crisis, and the absurd role humans play in it all. The dancers themselves become water, flowing around obstacles, merging with the ocean’s never-ending roll.
With sound and visual designs by New Zealanders Marcus McShane and Jason Wright, this collaboratively created work ponders ways of survival, tiny gestures made, and the storylines folks follow. The Canadian premiere, along with the rest of the Western Canadian tour, is performed by dancers from both nations, including Levi Siaosi, Marisa Gold, Ysadora Dias, and Allison Brooks.
