About The show
Atmosphere is a short and sweet piece of speculative fiction, a quick glance into an alternate reality, a small skip into the future. SNAFU Artists will collaborate in designing a “Possible Future” that responds directly to what is going on right now. This short performance will be heavily inspired by the space that we choose to perform. It will be wholly atmospheric with an emphasis on a design using recycled materials and obsolete technology. We will present an unexpected spectacle in an unusual space. Surreal, hand-crafted puppets that merge with the natural environment.

DARK TRAVELLER
Canada's first radio play created by
incarcerated artists
William Head on Stage prison theatre company (or WHoS) and SNAFU Society of Unexpected Spectacles are excited to release their latest co-production, Canada’s first podcast series, Dark Traveller. The podcast consists of 3 episodes; each is approximately 40 minutes. It features the team performing the radio play The Northern Lights, a science-fiction radio play initially written in 1949 by Wyllis Cooper, behind the scenes interviews with the incarcerated artists about the process of creating the podcast and an original sequel inspired by the old radio show, and a mix of creative writing inspired by the Northern Lights themes & workshops.
