Busy little bees, it is time to return to the HIVE: Twelve adventurous theatre companies deliver twelve distinct performances in continuous rotation.
Presented with
Flutter from one site-specific show to the next, with DJs, dancing and more theatrical social networking.
Pi’s piece, House/Home, will be directed by Artistic Director Richard Wolfe. For House/Home each audience member is given a key to 577½ Great Northern Way and is invited to drop by for a visit. Using music, burlesque, poetry and movement, Pi explores the surreal matrix of our most private spaces.

“Pi Theatre accomplishes something incredible, crafting one of the rawest, most compellingly emotional pieces of theatre to grace any Vancouver stage this year”
Andrea Warner, Westender
“Pi Theatre’s House/Home is a terrific mix of movement, music and a short story both sweet and sad.”
Peter Birnie, Vancouver Sun
“Pi Theatre’s ‘House/Home’ was kind of a burlesque pop-up book of a playlet.”
Darren Barefoot, DarrenBarefoot.com
“In this dark, musical look at marriage in its not-so-early stages, a husband and wife perform a dance of dissatisfaction, up and down stairs, through windows, and in bathroom and tool-shed sanctuaries…by the end of this show, they will each bare all in different ways.”
Marsha Lederman, The Globe and Mail
“An inventive set design, great performances, and nuanced yet universal content add up to a great show.”
Sebastien Archibald, Plank Magazine
“The buzz was right — this is the hottest ticket in town…some absolutely dazzling little displays of theatrical innovations.”
Peter Birnie, Vancouver Sun, review of HIVE2 2008
“Graceful storytelling”
Briana Rayner, patron
“Packed quite a punch!”
Christina Chen, patron
“A wild multigenre melodrama of our times.”
Kim Goodliffe, patron
“I was touched by the intimacy of hearing through headphones, which surprised me.”
