“If you need proof that Vancouver is one of the most exciting theatre cities on the continent, head on down to Hive 2.” – Colin Thomas, The Georgia Straight
About the Event
A featured event in the 2008 Magnetic North Theatre Festival in Vancouver, HIVE 2 took over 2 warehouse spaces at the Digital Media Centre for a 9-day marathon of perspective-rocking, intimate, outrageous, and eclectic performances by 11 independent BC theatre companies. Building on the success of the original HIVE, the member companies of Progress Lab were commissioned by the Festival through a grant from Arts Partners in Creative Development. Veda Hille curated 9 bands for the after-show party each night, and Glenn Alteen of Grunt Gallery brought some seriously live artists to the cabaret space.
Rumble collaborated with Theatre Melee, a company-in-residence, on our Hive 2 offering, The End is Here!
The End is Here!
Four survivors in a post-apocalyptic world face an uncertain future. Should they try to fight back? Repopulate the planet? Or just get to know each other better?
