Humans of Fairy Creek
Human Body Project
Updated multimedia sequel to last year's hit Victoria Fringe show, "Humans of Fairy Creek: A Variety Show." Again, featuring people and friends of people who got the shit beat out of them by the RCMP.
The stories of these individuals deserve to be told and linked to the acceleration of global ecocidal and genocidal actions perpetrated by states and corporate interests.
Humans of Fairy Creek 2023 director, Tasha Diamant, winner of the Montreal Fringe Creativity Award in 2018, made her fringe debut 15 years ago with the heartbreakingly prescient "Human Body Project."
This year, Humans of Fairy Creek at Vancouver Fringe is directed by Corina Fischer, an emerging theatre maker who created the sound piece for the show last year, and worked on the award wining Victoria Fringe productions "Bad Dog" and "New Earth Bandits".
Thousands took part in the 2021 “Fairy Creek Blockade” and around 1300 were arrested (often brutally and illegally). These were nonviolent, mostly young people trying to stand up for Indigenous law and defend their futures by doing their best to protect the very last old growth ecosystems in BC.
The BC and Canadian governments continue to facilitate old growth logging, as well as other devastating resource extraction projects, and have escalated the criminalizing of people who protest against ecocide and genocide (especially Indigenous and racialized people).
All contributions come from those who were on the ground at Fairy Creek, rather than government and media disinformation and lies.
Humans of Fairy Creek 2024 is a rare theatrical piece exploring this pivotal, ongoing Canadian story of resistance. @humansoffairycreek2024
