WATERLOO —
In 2015, two distant cousins who met two years ago began an epic hiking expedition to trace their common Mennonite ancestors from Pennsylvania to the north of Waterloo.
Actors Irene Brubeck and Christine Brubeck carefully recorded their adventures in both through photos and diaries
The women's drama, the seventh cousin, premiered in Toronto's summer work on August 2015, titled "out of the box ". "The "auto-
Myth "as they say, it's done in a non-short term
Traditional places such as community halls and churches.
This week, the "seventh cousin" will usher in three
A one-day run at Conrad Grebel church in Waterloo takes the story to the heart of the end of their trek three years ago.
This is the premiere of the show in Waterloo.
After the couple met at a family party, they started a great adventure and joked that although their last name was spelled differently, they still had a relationship.
Then a relative did some tree mining and found that the couple was indeed related: The sixth cousin on their grandmother's side, the eighth cousin on their grandfather's side.
Brubeck is actually a descendant of Magdalena and John E.
Brubback, a settler in Pennsylvania, built the brubback House, which is 1850 homestead owned by the University of Waterloo.
The house is the ultimate destination for women and the pinnacle of a 32-year-old woman
A day hike from the brubeckgu Road near Brickville, across Pennsylvania, northern New York, and the Niagara River into Ontario.
Why not sit down and read the history of their ancestors?
The women wanted to do more meaningful things after getting a relative to walk from Pennsylvania to Ontario and return, and he moved his family north more than once. The pair's 32-
The daytime journey is filled with unexpected twists and turns, long hot weather, plenty of blisters and worn-out hiking boots.
Tested patience.
There are occasional quarrels-
But there are a lot of good stories, all of which are based on women as "seventh cousins.
"The show was played at the Ismail Center in Toronto last weekend, and although the room was full, there were only seats for about 30 people.
That's the point of the show: Keep it small and private because there's a lot of audience interaction and sometimes engagement.
The "seventh cousin" Rhythm is fast, when they compress the journey of a month to 90-
Minutes without a break.
This is convincing, surprising and unpredictable.
The actors are engaging, and there is a lot of humor in the interaction, which is the real confession of how they make each other nervous.
"The seventh cousin" is shown in Waterloo's "Green Light Art". it is not so much a play as a travel note.
While sometimes it doesn't seem to have a script, and it's not even, it's intentional.
The script is written in this way, so it sounds natural to play your own role.
The audience felt that when they traveled north, they had a window to understand the inner thoughts of the cousins.
They also shared the stories of the people they met along the way, the strangers who accepted them, fed them and placed them, the people who had the value system, which shocked the cousins.
There was a kind and inspiring cancer survivor who turned out to be a racist.
In How to deal with the despicable, ignorant comments about color, these women left a contradiction.
In every encounter with the Bible, they are asked about their personal beliefs as if their masters need to make sure they are Christians in order to accept them.
Cousins are not only interested in the people they meet, the places they see, but also in the speed at which they forget these people and places.
There are often two different memories of the same experience.
Who is right, who is wrong?
This leads to some arguments, but it also makes them realize that memories are flowing and often never retrieved.
Memory is really not trusted.
In the play, they had a quick fire-fighting exchange, trying to recall names and represent individuals with gestures.
There are also 750 photos on the table, please select one for the audience.
The women then randomly select the photos from the audience, project the images on the projector, and try to remember the story behind them.
The image is usually blurry: a corridor or a piano keyboard.
Sometimes it's like the three little boys they found sitting in the washing machine with the door open.
Obviously, the children are bored when they are waiting for their mothers.
The show is not about their Mennonite Heritage, not even about the history or struggle of immigrant settlers.
On the contrary, this is a story full of determination and confidence.
