Event Details

“Final Recordings” is where TEDTalk, sob story, and cottagecore collide.

Fred has a lot on his mind. The origins of the universe, for starters. The fabric of space-time, too. The formation of the Earth, plate tectonics, the fossil record, gravitational waves, dark matter, winding valley roads, campfires, pottery cafes—the list goes on and on. There’s also the matter of the giant salty egg, the man in the comfy blue chair, and the burning question: “Is this good? What I’m doing? With my time?”

Runtime: 90 minutes, no intermission.

Zuppa: Based in Kjipuktuk / Halifax, we aim to make extraordinary experiences that provoke the consideration of new perspectives and ideas and thrive on the play between the imagined and the real. With each project we attempt to do something we don’t know how to do and work with collaborators who bring new life experiences or skill sets to the table. We make shows for Halifax and for places far away, with the support of The Canada Council for the Arts, Arts Nova Scotia, and The Nova Scotia Department of Communities, Culture, Tourism and Heritage, and Halifax Culture and Community. Zuppa is a member of Theatre Nova Scotia and an affiliate member of the Professional Association of Canadian Theatres.
