# Se Pa Ra Ti Sm ![[PR-SEP_01.jpg]] ## About Se Pa Ra Ti Sm For nearly two years, the COVID-19 pandemic has kept us apart—physically, ideologically, and globally. But the pandemic isn’t the only force driving separation; division seems to surround us at every turn. In a world marked by crises and disconnection, what does it mean to find unity? In _Se Pa Ra Ti Sm_, four boundary-pushing artists—Bianca Guimarães de Manuel, Mark Hopkins, Pam Tzeng, and Matthew Waddell—explore how impersonal systems shape their identities and relationships, especially within the unpredictable backdrop of Alberta. Step into a realm of abstract cowboys, digital avatars, shattered stereotypes, and modern myths, where they tackle big questions of self-determination and interdependence through a vivid, visceral performance. ![[PR-SEP_02.jpg]] ## Credits - Bianca Guimarães de Manuel – Creator / Performer & Costume Designer - Mark Hopkins – Creator / Performer - Pam Tzeng – Creator / Performer & Staging - Matthew Waddell – Creator / Performer - Sky Desjardins – Lighting Designer - Thomas Geddes – Technical Director & Production Manager - Kate Pallesen – Stage Manager - Jenna Rodgers – Dramaturg - Mike Tan – Documentarian, Rehearsal Director, Workshop Stage Manager - Sarah Uwadiae – Scenographer - Darren Young – Composer & Sound Designer - Graphic Design - Laura Anzola ![[PR-SEP_03.jpg]]![[PR-SEP_01 1.jpg]]
