A one-man show encompassing the culture of generation X is coming to the ACT Arts Centre in Maple Ridge.
BOOM X is described as “mind-blowing”, and compared to “a TedTalk on six Red Bulls”, that covers everything from music to politics in a multimedia performance.
The show is created and performed by Toronto-based Rick Miller, a Dora and Gemini award-winning writer, director, performer, musician and entertainer.
It is the second part of a trilogy of solo multimedia performances, which collectively span 75 years of history, politics, culture, and technology on the planet. The first part was called BOOM.
BOOM X begins at Woodstock in August of 1969, and takes the audience all the way to 1995, when the internet began to dominate lives.
Over the course of the show, Miller plays more than 100 colourful characters from the days of disco, the oil crisis, Watergate, the Cold War, video games, punk rock, the second British Invasion, and more.
