Anderson, a Boyle Street community resident and award-winning playwright. The development and production of TOKYO 1965 is supported in part by the City of Edmonton Quarters Downtown project.

August 22-26 – 2pm
Location: The Artery (9535 Jasper Avenue)

The play is an operatic fantasy set in Tokyo, and follows the journey of an Italian opera singer forced to choose between life without a voice… or death. The Bonze and Velvet Co-op chose The Artery (9535 Jasper Avenue) for their BYOV (Bring Your Own Venue) as one of the community’s renewal-through-art initiatives. These include the Dirt City: Dream City transitory art project, located near the venue, as well as projection art and other upcoming events at the new Boyle Street Community Centre.
