Kayak
Listed among the Best of 2013 (Gay Vancouver), Kayak was a hit at the rEvolver festival. It was then picked up for presentation at the Firehall Arts Centre for a larger audience to enjoy. BMW-driving, bleached-blond Annie Iverson teeters alone in a kayak on a vast stretch of water. Having set out to save her son from the dangers of his radical environmentalist girlfriend, she unwittingly throws herself into a path of events larger than she could ever have imagined. Catapulted through a storm of memories, Annie struggles to cling to what’s “right” in her ever-shrinking world. In a time when green is the new black, Kayak is a witty, provocative and deeply personal perspective on the global environmental crisis.
