Traversing one hundred years of history in the relative light of human behaviour -STRAINS will be created collaboratively under the direction of Chris Gerrard-Pinker and Norman Armour and can be seen at the Station Street Arts Centre from October 18 to 29. STRAINS is the second in and the corner stone of a trilogy that began with Manipulations (heldover from its premiere at the 1992 Vancouver Fringe Festival.)
