HEARTLINES: A Staged Reading

WHEN: 2PM, Sat, Apr 4

WHERE: Studio A, BMO Theatre Centre

Presented by Promethean Theatre as part of Fates Fest 2026, join us for this staged reading followed by a discussion and snacks!

Claude Cahun and Marcel Moore shared an astonishing life grounded in love, nourished by art, and motivated by justice. Using a play-within-a-play structure and epic storytelling, Heartlines takes the audience through the dizzying romance of their early life together in the Parisian avant-garde – and the subsequent fracturing of that life with the rise of nazism.

Playwright: Sarah Waisvisz

Director: Samantha Levy (she/her)

Suzanne: Emma Soothill

Claude: Santana Berryman

Bandleader: Liam Wilkins

Fates Fest is theatre festival/celebration dedicated to the advancement of femme and non-binary voices in key creative roles. This year Fates Fest (created and produced by Promethean Theatre) is excited to bring three staged readings, 2 co-presentations, all at the Olympic Village Stage and BMO Theatre Centre. During the daytime, join us for free workshops, panels, staged readings, item swaps, and events for the community to engage, learn, and come together while celebrating the strength and joy of femme, gender-non conforming, and non-binary voices!

ACCESSIBILITY

The BMO Theatre Centre is wheelchair accessible, and has physically accessible and gender-neutral washrooms.

Priority seating is held for those with accessibility needs. We ask that patrons request accessible seats in their order notes and we will reserve accessible seating on a first come, first serve basis. Patrons can also email Promethean at [email protected] to chat about any access needs and how we can offer support.

If you have any questions about accessibility prior to your visit, please contact our Box Office via email at [email protected].

Tickets to the event may be returned up to one week prior to the performance date, after which they may be transferred to a different performance date. Promethean is an ardent supporter of the community, so we will donate 6% of all ticket revenue to a local Indigenous charity.

This festival is generously supported by the Arts Club Theatre Company, Arts Club Youth & Access Commitee, and the City of Vancouver. Promethean is also supported by our incredible community with generous support from donors, volunteers, supporters, and collaborators. As a small theatre, Promethean needs all the help we can get. If you are able to, please consider topping up your ticket purchase with a donation. Your support will ensure we can grow and expand our capacity to help emerging artists jumpstart their careers.
