“the incredible chemistry between these two friends was refreshing, and the poetry itself was, for the most part, captivating…my only complaint? Too short!” – Scott Humphrey, Bloody Underrated
“These two actresses blushing, trying to articulate ancient truths in a tiny room…were thoroughly magnetic.” Lyla McQueen Shah, Montreal Rampage
Ephemer-illz is an experimental, improvisational piece where Lynn and Carina perform and respond to pieces of Ancient Greek lyric poetry, along the themes of death, drinking, memory, and love. No two performances are ever the same- the conversation continues over the run. There is always beer.
Ephemer-illz is coming to the Wildside Offside Festival! Playing January 8th, 2015, at 11pm in the lobby of the Centaur Theatre. Admission is free, suggested donation $5.

“the hilarious conversation that resulted was one I was glad to witness. De Klerk effortlessly quotes Greek tragedy over a beer, her eloquence beautifully complemented by her casual (if a little nervous) demeanor. I would happily listen to her spout ancient poetry for much longer than this short piece allowed.” – Victoria Laberge, Bloody Underrated
