The guys are different in many ways, size, background, ways of seeing life, ways of approaching situations, but those differences seem to work. They are taking a semester off college so they can take their time enjoying the Canadian wilderness. Jack and Wynn met their first days of college and have been best friends and constant companions since then. The River by Peter Heller, Mark Deakins (Narrator) Is this the man they heard? And, if he is, where is the woman? But: The next day a man appears on the river, paddling alone. When they hear a man and woman arguing on the fog-shrouded riverbank and decide to warn them about the fire, their search for the pair turns up nothing and no one. But a wildfire making its way across the forest adds unexpected urgency to the journey. When they decide to canoe the Maskwa River in northern Canada, they anticipate long days of leisurely paddling and picking blueberries, and nights of stargazing and reading paperback Westerns.

The story of two college friends on a wilderness canoe trip-of a friendship tested by fire, white water, and violence One half is kept around Angra’s neck and the other is kept on the move. Their leader, Queen Hannah, was killed and their conduit, in the form of a locket, was broken in two. Only a few Winterians managed to escape and the rest were killed or enslaved. Sixteen years ago, the kingdom of Winter was attacked by the land of Spring. They are in the form of things like a locket, a ring, a dagger. These conduits were created from a giant ball of magic that is somewhere beneath the season kingdoms (to which the entrance has been lost). With these conduits they can create a plentiful harvest, make people better soldiers, provide health, or even force their people to obey (the king of Spring, Angra, uses his magic to enhance anything bad or evil rather than the betterment of his kingdom). The royal family is either female or male line based. Jannuari is the name of Winter’s great city.Ĭhakram – Mira’s weapon of choice, (see book cover)īackground: Each of the kingdoms of Primoria has a magic conduit that only works for the royal family. Setting – A Kingdom called Primoria divided into Spring, Summer, Winter, Autumn and the four Rhythm kingdoms. Sir (or William) – Commander of Winter’s small band of refugees There is a synergistic simplicity emanating from your duo that is at times humorous and at other times touching. Actor and musician, he delivers lines and deconstructs the original soundtrack of the iconic “Eye of the Tiger” throughout the play. He is a very caring guide who always listens. In theatre as well as in cinema, Fabien is a diligent observer of what moves the actor’s spirit. Fabien had always imagined me as an action film heroine and Lise, the play’s character, is in perpetual motion, in combat, like Rocky. It was a challenge for us coming from the film industry and we had to go through various stages of developing the show before arriving at its final form. I firmly believe in the simplicity of theatre, where words create the image. We had to trust each other, without relying on projected images. It was his first foray into live theatre. How did this new collaboration and the co-creation of this work come about? Is Fabien Gorgeart’s method of directing different when working in film and theatre?Ĭlotilde Hesme: Fabien and I had a great desire to work together again and especially to collaborate on a theatrical piece.
