Micro Performance Series

Micro Performances asks the audience, which is rarely more than 20 at a time, to immerse themselves in a world of the artist’s creation. The association between audience and performer transcends more conventional forms as the two travel together in a relationship that is better described as participant and guide. These performances are not smaller versions of what would normally be larger productions, these are pieces that exploit what is only possible on a smaller, more intimate scale.

Boca del Lupo presents the Micro Performance Series (MPS) on and around Granville Island. These productions are created and performed by local, national and international artists working across disciplines in intimate and small scale forms.

The Micro Performance Series begins 2025 with a co-presentation with the PuSh International Performing Arts Festival.

The 2024 Micro Performance Series included Dear Laila by Basel Zaraa (co-presented with the PuSh Festival and Pandemic Theatre), TREE by MOTUS (co-presented by the Vancouver International Children’s Festival), and Drift by Kimira Reddy (co-presented with the Indian Summer Arts Festival).
