Private B'ys (Bryan Nash & Daniel Farrow)

Daniel Farrow and Bryan Nash have performed theatre together in Cape Breton for over 10 years. They are both locals from Glace Bay that wish to share their sense of humor with their community. Last year, they created their theatre-based comedy duo “Private B’ys”.

The Sequel by Private B'ys

Artist Project

“The Sequel” is a follow up comedy theatre project featuring two private detectives from Glace Bay. With many new cases and stories from the past year, the Private B’ys recount their cases, their past summer plans, and what it means to work in Cape Breton. This is all done through different characters, costumes, voices, and impressions.

Lumière Arts Festival 2025 // Constellations

Lumiere Arts Festival invites artists and community members to reflect on the concept of care.

In a polarized landscape, care can lap like a brook, or pound like large waves crashing ashore. To care is to tend, to root, to rebel, to share and to endure. This year, the festival is encouraging artists to submit works rooted in solidarity, with community building as resistance, that explores the need to care for ourselves, others, and the earth, both locally and globally. The Lumiere Arts Festival makes space for joy, contemporary art, and meaningful dialogue.

Land Acknowledgement

Lumière Arts Festival, on behalf of the board, the artists, and the communities we represent, acknowledges that we work, live and play in the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq people, in Unama’ki Cape Breton, who have stewarded these lands since time immemorial.

We are grateful not only for the strong and ongoing stewardship of these lands we call home, but also for the stories, music, and art that Mi’kmaq people continue to create and share, carrying ancestral voices, sacred teachings, and legacies of interconnectedness and resilience forward into the present and on to the future.

We aspire to reflect that sense of connection between past and present in our festival. We are inspired by L’nu artists to foster connection and self-reflection in our work. We will work to ensure that art is accessible, inclusive, and integrated into public spaces so that we can share our collective stories, recognizing the challenges of our past and imagining brighter futures.

We are all Treaty people.
