Caravan Stage Sets Sail

À propos

For the last 18 months, the Caravan Stage Society has been working hard at Shelter Island Marina in Richmond on a refit of our 90ft tall ship, the Amara Zee. The ship was launched into the water in August 2020, and is now ready for the Caravan to bring our next season of shows to audiences across coastal British Columbia.

In Summer 2021, the Caravan will bring our newest original work, Virtual Rogues to the waterways of the Fraser River in Richmond. We are excited to perform for the people of Richmond, who were so generous and accommodating to us during the refit of our ship.

Caravan Stage Society

The Caravan Stage is a Canadian non-profit touring theatre company, founded in BC in 1970. The Caravan creates and tours original contemporary theatre works on the themes of environmental degradation, social equality, and human rights. The Caravan tours these works to audiences in an unusual mode ... from 1970 to 1993 with large wagons pulled from town to town by Clydesdale horses and performing in a large tensile tent ... from 1994 to the present, in a custom-built 90ft Tallship with the audience sitting on the shore watching the shows presented on the decks and up in the rigging of the Caravan ship, the Amara Zee ("The Heart of the Sea Goddess"). The Caravan created these culturally evocative venues in order to entice and attract a non-traditional popular audience to contemporary Canadian theatre. This, in turn, allows the Caravan to create and perform experimental productions with a content that resonates with the dreams and concerns of peoples from a diverse range of social and economic backgrounds. The Caravan shows embrace the contemporary ethos of current times: environmental degradation & climate change, gender conflicts, digital surveillance techno culture, annihilation of indigenous peoples, exploitation of racism and the loss of mystery, magic, and mythology.
