12TH ANNUAL CHUTZPAH! FESTIVAL In their 12th year of showcasing world-renowned artists in a vibrant celebration of the performing arts, the Chutzpah! Festival presents a line-up of electrifying music, riveting theatre and breath-taking dance scheduled for presentation from February 11 - March 4, 2012. Chutzpah! Plus (March 6-11), offers an additional opportunity for audiences to experience outstanding theatrical performance. This popular, multi-faceted festival includes, in 2012: four extraordinary dance productions including Monger, choreographed by Barak Marshall and performed by L.A.’s Body Traffic, and performances by Noord Nederlandse Dans from Holland; three brilliant theatre productions including a music-theatre adaptation of Joseph Skibell’s A Blessing on the Moon featuring the Warsaw Village Band and Hollywood insider Larry Blum’s Blink and You Might Miss Me at the River Rock Theatre; and internationally-celebrated music, including top-selling Israeli artists Hadag Nahash at the Commodore, and the world music– cantor fusion of New York’s hip The Sway Machinery at Main Street’s Electric Owl. Chutzpah’s Artistic & Managing Director, Mary-Louise Albert says, “We’re thrilled to present one of our most dynamic and eclectic festivals to date featuring some of the world’s finest artists, two multi-run plays, and numerous Vancouver, Canadian and World premieres. Chutzpah! continues to expand, opening up the Festival to include more Lower Mainland venues in its embrace. This year Chutzpah! returns to the Commodore Ballroom and the Firehall Arts Centre in addition to ongoing residence at the Norman and Annette Rothstein Theatre, and will also be presenting shows in new venues – the Electric Owl on Main Street and in Richmond’s River Rock Theatre, one of the region’s best theatre spaces. There’s so much to experience at Chutzpah! 2012, and we invite everyone to immerse themselves in the depth and breadth of the amazing performances in store.”
