RIVER BED
By Eric Noel | Translated by Jordan Arseneault
Translated from FAIRE DES ENFANTS (Quebec, Canada)

“…With an urgency to speak that gripes us from the very first lines... touches us right to the heart… Pure and sublime.” –Le Devoir

Philippe, 24, burns for the dark light: drugs, sex, alcohol, prostitution. One in the morning, he wakes up in a strange bed, between two strangers and a sense his mother’s trying to reach him.  A visceral and poetic text combining naturalism, surrealism in a blend of poetic and gritty language.  Recipient of the  Prix Gratien-Gélinas.

Featuring Scott Button, Rhiannon Collett, Rick Dobran, Brian Postalian, Christine Quintana, Lisa C. Ravensbergen, Anais West & Nelson Wong

ANNOUNCING: Global Hive Laboratories on Patreon

Today, we are proud to announce the launch of our Patreon! We have been hard at work on all the projects that make up this new platform of ours, which we hope you will support! Your contributions will keep us creating! We cannot thank you enough in advance for contributing to this next stage of our global work. Become a patron now to unlock new content! #GHLPatreon

Over the next few weeks, we will share more about our different tiers of support, especially the #GHLClassicsUpClose (launching this week), our readings, and Caro’s cooking show, so stayed tuned for even more! #GHLGloUp

We believe that the strength of our collective is the diversity of places, perspectives, and processes. With this in mind, we have created a platform for individual artists to generate income from their individual practices, expose a larger international community to their work, and invest in their future participation in International Laboratories.

This is not the usual way art groups are funded. We believe that the strength of our community and the value of our mission will help us create a sustainable, artist focused, anti-colonial, intersectional, feminist and anti-racist wage structure.
Will you join us?

Global Hive Labs is creating Global Theatre Practice, Community Collaboration & Art Education. We believe in a Total Theatre - one where all disciplines, practices, styles, genres and forms can share an equal import in the sensory journey of the audience. Our objective is to identify the questions and facts on the subject, examine and deconstruct them, then rebuild with what best fits to any given moment or expression and a focus on what new is created when opposing forms, practices and ideas are put in combination.
