A Theatrical Feast for the Carnegie Cultural Sharing Program
To Honour First Nations and Immigrant Presence in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside
Big House projects are theatrical feasts created for, with and about the Downtown Eastside founding Coast Salish and immigrant communities: a thank you from Vancouver Moving Theatre to the neighbourhood in which it was created. Coming to Know is the fifth of a series of feasts produced at neighbourhood gathering places in partnerships with Downtown Eastside based organizations and Toronto’s Jumblies Theatre. This fall’s event has been supported by six art-making and story-sharing workshops taking place at the Carnegie Community Centre, Oppenheimer Park and the Aboriginal Front Door.

Mass
ALL SOULS’ DAY MASS
Monday November 3, 6:30pm
St. James’ Anglican Church, 303 E. Cordova
Everyone welcome
This year the Oculus Chamber Choir joins the St. James’ High Mass Choir in singing the transcendent Requiem, op.9 (1947) by Maurice Duruflé. This extraordinary and meditative mass setting is based primarily on Gregorian chant and was written in memory of the composer’s father. At this spiritual gathering we give thanks for all the departed, no matter who they were, what they believed, and especially for those who may not have had anyone to pray for them. You are welcome to come and remember all of your beloved ones who have moved on from this life. If you have names of the departed you would like read aloud during the prayers, please contact the church office by Monday October 27 at 604-685-2532.
