CatVideoFest is coming to Vancouver with a compilation reel of the latest and best cat videos culled from countless hours of unique submissions and sourced animations, music videos, and, of course, classic internet powerhouses!
The 70-minute-reel of cat videos is family-friendly and can be enjoyed by anyone. The wide demographic appeal allows for it to be shown in virtually any type of setting – from museums to theatres to outdoor festivals and beyond all over the world. In Vancouver, the VIFF Vancity theatre will be home to this one-day event.

A joyous communal experience, only available in theatres, CatVideoFest raises money for cats in need through partnerships with local cat charities, animal welfare organizations, and shelters to best serve cats in the area. People love cat videos, and they love coming together for a shared experience.
CatVideoFest is committed to bringing the joy of cat videos to the masses, while doing good for the worldwide community of people working to help cats in need. Here at home, 15% of the box office will be donated to Vancouver Orphan Kitten Rescue Association (“VOKRA”).

DanceHouse Presents MOMIX: Viva MOMIX
Where: Vancouver Playhouse (600 Hamilton St, Vancouver) When: April 12 & 13, 2019 at 8:00pm Tickets: From $35, available online or call (604) 801-6225
Helmed by Artistic Director Moses Pendleton, one of America’s most innovative choreographers and directors, MOMIX is revered for its ability to conjure a surreal world using props, light, shadow, humour, and the human body. Viva MOMIX celebrates the best of more than three decades of works, with a selection of company favourites mixed with three new creations.
Developed in 2015 in honour of MOMIX’s 35th anniversary season, Viva MOMIX features stunning vignettes from six of their iconic productions: MOMIX in Orbit, Botanica, Lunar Sea, ReMIX, Classics, and Opus Cactus, alongside scenes from three new works created for the company’s birthday celebration at Teatro Nazionale in Milan, Italy — Daddy Long Leg, Light Reigns, and Paper Trails. Praised for its “beguiling, eye-filling, and impressive visual and movement theatrics” (The Wall Street Journal), Viva MOMIX will transport audiences on a journey into a surreal fantasy. Elements of the natural world — animal, plant, and mineral — are transmuted through the technical prowess of nine gifted artists who shape their bodies into creations that suspend the rational mind and replace it with wonder and a glorious sense of play.
