About
Still Life is a reflection on the ephemeral nature of human culture. Drawing on the histories of Western art, this series of performances reflects on the opulence and rich symbolic language of still life painting, while considering how these images (and the cultures they communicate) may be interpreted after our disappearance. This is the second in an ongoing series of works by Other Hearts that re-contextualizes our key moments of ceremony and community through the lens of a post-human world, rendering these familiar moments both strange and strangely beautiful.
At the end of the performance, glasses are filled, and time stands still as the audience is invited onto the stage, for the last wedding.

Talk Is Free Theatre
Talk Is Free Theatre (TIFT) was founded in 2003 in Barrie by Artistic Producer Arkady Spivak and colleagues, and has since produced over 150 works. The company develops and produces a wide range of work from the periphery of the mainstream, concentrating on new writing, neglected classics and drastic re-examinations of established repertoire.
