“The Inevitable Consequence of Gravity, or There Once Was a Fish” is a devised physical theater comedy created by students from Vancouver School of Arts and Academics under the artistic direction of guest artist Arturo Martinini and theater teacher Anne Averre. This whimsical, experimental performance is inspired by the idea of music as a narrative device and is presented in a style influenced by vaudeville and the Commedia dell’Arte.
