Musical deals with misogyny, relationship abuse, and gender-based violence in absurd ways
When: Thursday, May 18, through Saturday, May 20If you’re someone who is looking to build from the ground up a musical that balances real-life horrors with fairytale elements, including hags and bogs, call Britt Small. She’s the ideal collaborator.
Small calls Wyrd a slice of “magical realism,” in that it deals with misogyny, relationship abuse, and gender-based violence in slightly absurd ways Colourful characters include a bunch of hags who live in a bog and offer advice and support to a woman on a journey to find herself. The show, with Small directing, will have its B.C. premiere this week with four performances at Metro Studio Theatre, starting tonight. She is hoping the piece has a long life, and while there are some changes that needed to be made, “it’s in really good shape. People will be really interested in it.”
The pandemic was a blessing, in one sense. It provided vast amounts of time and freedom during the creation process, which is not always a given. Small relished the opportunity to work on the project with a team of female-identifying or non-binary collaborators, including more than a dozen writers and songwriters. “Everyone who participated, their voices are in this show in some form.”
