THE CARAVAN OF CURIOSITIES COMES TO WHISTLER – MEET FAYE HAVOC
Faye Havoc is a gender chaotic burlesque and vaudeville entertainer straight out of your dreams, or perhaps your nightmares. Faye is an accomplished stage costumer, and has been performing for over a decade in Vancouver and beyond. They’re officially hilarious, according to the Burlesque Hall of Fame in Las Vegas: in its 2019 Tournament of Tease Faye was awarded “Most Comedic” as the front half of a pantomime horse that screams at its own ass. (No, really. It’s true. Look it up.) They also manage The Circus Sideshow Reptiles, a team of charming professional snake handlers with Caravan of Curiosities. Faye dwells on the funny, freaky margins of burlesque and isn’t afraid to clown around and get really weird, but make it glamorous.
MEET YUKI
Yuki is a Japanese Canadian professional juggler based in Vancouver, Canada. Yuki started performing on the streets of Europe in 2007 and then moved on to Africa to train and develop his initial performance style. After moving back to Vancouver, Canada in 2009, he started focusing on collaboration projects, which led him to recognition amongst the juggling community in North America. In 2014, Yuki organized a group of jugglers to produce ‘The New Conformity’ where the show won awards at theatre festivals.
Currently, Yuki ’s co-owned company, Cause & Effect Circus, is in development on a new production in collaboration with Pepper’s Ghost: New Media & Performance Collective funded by the Canada Arts Council.
