Synopsis
In near silence, a trio of red-robed evangelizing cardinals perform their abbreviated version of the Bible, ably assisted by their young, Muslim, female stage-manager. But the frame of theatre is a bit too large, the props unruly, and mythologized history – from Genesis to the Crusades to the West Bank – will not serve easily to communicate their message of sacrifice and redemption. Odd and hilarious, Stan’s Cafe’s newest performance is an apparently simple meditation on the labour that goes into belief and the possibility of interfaith cooperation. Meticulously directed by master-craftsman James Yarker, The Cardinals presents a pageant of images struggling to determine their meaning. (harbourfrontcentre.com)
