Do You Want What I Have Got? A Craigslist Cantata
Who, in Vancouver, has never been to the website Craigslist? I have, dozens of times. That’s where I gave away some of my furniture. The Craigslist website has provided people with a lot of different experiences. It’s a fun site, with an enormous reach and now it has inspired the upcoming performance at The Arts Club: Do You Want What I Have Got? A Craigslist Cantata.
YOUR PERSONAL ADS, SET TO MUSIC!
Irregular hats for cats, mounted lobsters, autographed copies of the Bible: this premiere from composer Veda Hille and the CBC’s Bill Richardson explores what humanity has to offer and turns it into sidesplitting musical fare. Who wouldn’t want a broken time machine, for free? Come and take a look at the vagaries and intimacies of the internet!
