A troupe of seven millennial actresses play WWII soldiers captured in the Stalag Luft III POW camp. Those men not only infamously hatched escape plans—immortalized by 1963 film, The Great Escape—they performed plays sent by the Red Cross, which required the men to play both male and female parts. When these historical events are acted by modern young women, not out of circumstantial necessity, but by choice, Three Winters asks audiences to question their assumptions about who we allow to play what parts and why.

Fans of the artist’s work will recognize not just familiar streets and harbours of Vancouver but also motifs like rainy downtown nights. But the paintings move toward a more realistic depiction of scenes than he has evoked in the past—even while relying on memory. Instead of aiming for literal accuracy, he has painted his subjects in a way that suits his vision. Admission Opening Reception: Friday, November 2 at 6 - 9pm. Artist in attendance. Sunday & Monday by appointment. Info: www.davidwilson.ca / www.kimotogallery.com

All sides are examined in this community that is formed and dissolved amidst the changing landscape of America. Tickets from $29 at artsclub.com or the Arts Club Box Office at 604.687.1644
