Scotiabank Nuit Blanche Independent Exhibit 2011

Latest

 

Step into the role of Danny Tanner from Full House or Bill Cosby from The Cosby Show! Scotiabank Nuit Blanche guests of all genders, ages & cultural backgrounds are invited to perform the ‘father’ role in an original 90′s influenced family sitcom.

Taped in a ‘TV studio set’ visible behind a glass facade, the integrated live performance will be broadcast to the audience outside – confronting the viewers with an unusually cast ‘father’ in a traditional family.  

Showcasing programs & research currently underway at Ryerson University, “Honey I’m Home” parodies and disrupts the familiar formula of family sitcoms. It recognizes modern media as a powerful and often manipulative device that undermines the complications of real life, making it difficult for viewers to think critically about the on-screen world they are relating to.
