ECU x Mount Pleasant: End of Greatness
Performance
Hosted by Eugene Choo (3683 Main Street) and Collage Collage (3697 Main Street)
As the final installment of the ECU x Mount Pleasant performance series, we’re delighted to present a studio showing of excerpts from the new multidisciplinary performance work End of Greatness. Conceived by friends, longtime collaborators and ECU alumni Veda Hille and Maiko Yamamoto the show also brings together fellow alums Geoffrey Farmer and Hitoko Okada. Through songs and music, dialogue, mythology, art objects, choreography and cake, End of Greatness conjoins microscopic intricacies with cosmological concepts to explore what it means to accept the dire elements of our time. Hosted by Main Street icons Collage Collage and Eugene Choo, the artists will present excerpts and tidbits of the work against a backdrop of fashion, friendship and play.
Developed in collaboration with the National Creation Fund at Canada’s National Arts Centre. Produced by Theatre Replacement. End of Greatness premieres April 16-19, 2026 at The Cultch.
