Red Demon

Running Time: 1hr40mins approx.

by Hideki Noda
A rice & beans theatre and Gokko Creative Society production
a Firehall Arts Centre Presentation

What keeps us from embracing those who are different? Can humanity ever truly coexist without prejudice or discrimination? Hideki Noda's Red Demon explores themes of xenophobic fears of immigration and society's struggle with intolerance by telling the story of a creature who washes up on the shore of a small beach town where no one understands him. The darkly funny play illuminates humanity's behaviour in moments of intercultural conflict with all villagers speaking Japanese while the Red Demon speaks Spanish.

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.
