"There's a bully in all of us." So is the tagline for the world premiere of this original piece presented by the Vancouver Opera.
"The inner life of a young boy is at the heart of this moving and meaningful new opera by world-renowned spoken-word artist Shane Koyczan and composer Neil Weisensel. Bravely autobiographical, beautifully poetic, visually innovative and musically memorable, Stickboy confronts the uncomfortable reality of a society struggling with its own fear and insecurity, a society that seeks conformity and uniformity at the expense of those who are different."
Stickboy runs at the Vancouver Playhouse from October 23 to November 7.
