Ancient Greece / right here + now

The plan will always feel like a mistake. Practice the mistake. 

A lecture on Antonio Banderas’ astrological chart, a chorus questioning their calling, and a long walk in a small mortal body. Jill Connell’s poetics work backward, interlacing Greek myth and the grindset, trying to figure out how we got here. The Herald navigates the choreography of labour as it asks us for faith and gives us something like meaning, or at least a new way of paying attention. By the end of the play, all of us will know how to be in Shoppers Drug Mart, wondering how to handle time, and what will happen to all the work we do not make.

The Herald is a play, but it's also a soundtrack, a costume drama, an art installation, and a movement piece. The show interrogates the value of work, how to be in community, and the desire to make meaning of our time on earth

About It Could Still Happen
It Could Still Happen is a theatre collective that has been working together since 2013. Founded by Jill Connell, our shows are based on formally-innovative texts that approach the embodied experience of how things feel, prioritizing bold aesthetics and the space we’re in. We value long-term creation processes that invite experimentation, trust, group work, and care. We aim to offer performances that have a startling sense of aliveness and possibility; that are as ferocious as they are tender. Past productions include The Supine Cobbler and HROSES: Outrage à raison, both performed in abandoned warehouses prior to becoming condos. We’ve been making The Herald since 2019, asking: what if not knowing yet can be a way of working?
