Vancouver artist presents Victoria Raskin Live, a dazzling self-produced show fusing music, dance, and storytelling
Vancouver singer, songwriter, and performer Victoria Raskin will bring her ambitious new production Victoria Raskin Live to Performance Works on Granville Island on Thursday, November 20, 2025. Doors open at 6:30 PM, show starts at 7 PM. Tickets are available for purchase here.
An evening of music, dance, theatre, and immersive storytelling, Victoria Raskin Live is set to be a one-of-a-kind experience in Vancouver’s independent music scene – a spectacle that pushes the boundary between concert and performance art. A true labour of love, the show was made possible through generous support from the Armenian Cultural Association of BC and a network of friends and family who rallied behind Raskin’s vision. In that same spirit of community, partial proceeds from ticket sales will go to the Society for Orphaned Armenian Relief (SOAR).
“I’ve been dreaming about, planning, and fundraising for this show for the past two years,” says Raskin. “It’s a huge professional milestone to take the jump independently to create the kind of show that I want to see, give my art a platform to shine, and bring together the dance, theatre, and music worlds all in one night. Little me would be so proud.”
Far from a traditional concert,Victoria Raskin Livepromises a dynamic, genre-blending experience. Expect hidden dancers in the audience, choreographed sequences, Swarovski-covered costumes, cabaret chairs, and see-through umbrellas glowing with fairy lights – all wrapped in a narrative designed to pull audiences into Raskin’s world. The show will also feature six dancers choreographed byMalia McMullen(known for her work in film and television, includingWorld of Dance), and a live band featuring Tim Charman (bass), Chris Sallis-Lyon (drums), Nathan Barrett (trumpet / sousaphone) and Cole Tinney (keyboard).
“Most indie artists don’t attempt a show of this scale early in their careers,” Raskin adds. “A multi-media, multidisciplinary production is expensive, time-consuming, and logistically intense, especially when you’re self-producing. I’ve had to wear every hat imaginable in planning it, but at the end of the day, that’s what makes stepping on stage so rewarding. Knowing every detail was built from the ground up.”
Raskin cites two major inspirations for the show: her mother – an opera singer who first gave her the chance to test early versions of the performance concept onstage – and a transformative trip to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, where she attended Sophie’s Surprise 29th, a daring circus-theatre piece that left her awestruck.
“It was bold, funny, and intimate – you could feel the heat of the fire from your seat,” Raskin recalls. “That experience inspired me to create something equally alive and personal here in Vancouver. I wanted to stage a night that feels close, surprising, and unforgettable.”
The show will coincide with the release of Raskin’s new single "New Girl", out November 19, the night before the performance, and will make its live debut at the show. The new track follows her recent single “Rise", which showcased her cinematic pop sound and expressive storytelling.
