Between Breaths

Running Time: 2hrs approx. + intermission

by Robert Chafe
a Production by Artistic Fraud
a Firehall Arts Centre Presentation


Inspired by a true story from Newfoundland, Between Breaths is a profound play that sails through Dr. Jon Lien’s life’s work saving whales trapped in fishing nets. Over his career, “The Whale Man” rescued over 500 whales and earned the respect of the island’s fishermen, but Dr. Jon’s biggest fight came late in life as dementia threatened his body and mind. Featuring a live score by modern indie folk trio The Once, Between Breaths is a beautifully hopeful play about death, disintegration, and the parts of ourselves that we hold onto after everything else is gone.

We’re Grateful to Be Here.

The Firehall Arts Centre is located on the unceded and traditional territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) First Nations where they lived and gathered together for thousands of years. Acknowledging their connections to these lands is a significant part of what the Firehall considers when choosing the productions and presentations we undertake and how that work shapes and impacts those around us. We ask our community to reflect on what being present here means to you and those around you.
