| Rumble productions & theatre replacement in association with the PuSh festival Presents: Clark and I Somewhere World Premier |  |
Actor/Writer James Long salvaged a collection of 7 photo albums and travel journals from an alley near his East Vancouver home. The collection, complete with detailed captions and letters, documents a family’s history between 1950 and 1987, and includes everything from birth notices to a full eulogy to the archivist’s Pomeranian, Mandy. In the fall of 2007, a team of collaborators went in search of the origins of these books and ran into multiple questions surrounding the legality and morality of working with found materials. What started as a simple trip to the country carried the creators on narrative jags across propriety, oceans, and beyond.
Clark and I Somewhere in Connecticut uses fact, fiction, video, interviews, a rabbit suit and anything else required to make sense of the found materials and the many lives interrupted along the way.
