Addressing the flashpoint topic of bullying, Vancouver Opera’s production of Stickboy aims to take opera back to its roots as a place for discussion and realization. Composed by Neil Weisensel with libretto by spoken-word artist Shane Koyczan, Stickboy is a courageous and visually stunning opera, which explores the inner life of a young boy transformed by bullying. To promote the show to a younger audience, Vancouver Opera and DDB Canada have created a powerful street art initiative.
