The state of Tennessee is home to the highest concentration of 'famous cities,' featuring the small towns of London, Paris, Rome, Athens, Bogata and Moscow among many others. London sits in the middle of the Cherokee National Forest on a dirt road. Rome is little more than a few houses on the road between Lebanon and Carthage. Paris, the biggest of the towns, is home to 9764 people.
Built with a vast collection of interviews, photos and video collected by the company in these small towns, The Greatest Cities in the World rises as a cacophonous smash up of voices, movement and media to construct and oddly familiar world.

MARCH 11–14 + 17–20, 2010 7PM The Centre for Digital Media, 577 Great Northern Way, VANCOUVER FOR TICKETS CALL: 604 629 VTIX (8849) HIVE is the stuff of theatrical legend in Vancouver. Sold-out shows at Chapel Arts in 2006 built the buzz. Sold-out shows at Magnetic North Theatre Festival in 2008 amplified that buzz. Now HIVE returns for a third edition as part of the Vancouver 2010 Cultural Olympiad. Grab a drink at the central bar then dive into the HIVE, where 12 theatrical inventions play continuously The wildly distinct shows are short — up to 15 minutes; and for small audiences — from one person to a few dozen. After your exploration, get ready to party with bands from across Canada. Under the banner of Progress Lab, 12 of B.C.’s most adventurous companies cross-pollinate and collaborate to create new directions in theatre. Together these companies have reshaped the landscape for contemporary live theatre in the Pacific Northwest in recent years. Their projects have appeared on major stages across Canada and the U.S., Europe, and Asia. They have exploded old notions of what a live theatre experience can be, and continue to create jaw-dropping evidence that Vancouver is a world leader in performance. HIVE celebrates this unique Vancouver scene in a fun, friendly, provocative atmosphere. HIVE 3 companies are: Boca del Lupo, Electric Company,Felix Culpa, Leaky Heaven Circus, Neworld Theatre, The Only Animal, Pi Theatre, Radix,Rumble Productions, Theatre Replacement, Theatre Conspiracy and Theatre SKAM, with mentee companies November Theatre, GasHeart Theatre and Tigermilk Collective.
