Thank you rEvolver Fest!
We had an incredible time performing to Sold Out crowds throughout the festival and were blown away by the quality of work from the other performers. It truly is a gem of a festival. Also shout out to The Georgia Straight by gracing us with this cover story/image!
SURVEIL at rEvolver Festival 2019
Surveil is an immersive comedy about modern surveillance and invasion of privacy from Tom Hill and Devin Mackenzie of Vancouver theatre/comedy duo Hip.Bang! and director Marie Farsi (Crow’s Theatre). Following the story of two young tech company founders, Surveil demonstrates, celebrates and deconstructs the ways the world is watching you. Attendees should arrive early to sign the mandatory waiver. Surveil debuted at JFL Northwest and TOSketchFest, before winning the 2018 Vancouver Fringe Artistic Risk Award.
Hip.Bang! would like to acknowledge the Canada Council for the Arts and rEvolver Festival for their support of Surveil, as well as the incredible team behind its re-development for May 2019: Peter Carlone (actor), Kory Mathewson (intelligent software), Sara Vickruck (sound design), Aidan Hammond (stage manager), Maarten Bayliss (assistant stage manager), Alex Tindal (consultant) and the countless artists, friends, and volunteers who have contributed to its development over the years. Tom and Devin would also like to thank their incredible partners Amy and Kelly.
