# 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]]
