Hard Times Hit Parade
by the Dusty Flowerport Cabaret
with the music of Maria in the Shower
Hard Times Hit Parade is a theatrical performance set in a dance marathon in a world reminiscent of the1930's. This theatre production is a chalk-a-block with swing dance, cabaret, live music, puppetry and surprise. It is a six month dance marathon in one night! Haunted by their own hallucinations, inner voices and deepest desires, the hidden worlds of the contestants come to life before our very eyes. Amidst this chaos in a competition they're determined to conquer; contestants are faced with a further challenge when the City threatens to shut down the dance marathon. Hard Times Hit Parade is a story of cooperation, determination and survival in hard times with art, music and dance.
The Dusty Flowerpot Cabaret, a collaboration of artists and performers, creates original art, dance, music, media and performance pieces independently and for groups including the Vancouver Folk Music Festival, Public Dreams Society, In the House Festival, and Vancouver International Film Festival amongst others.
