Combining dance, fashion and film, this tragic yet compelling spin on French history is one you do not want to miss!

The story of MARINA ANTOINETTE explores the superior beauty, tragedy and the glamourous lifestyle of the Queen of France, paralleling day-to-day issues of celebrities and socialites. The score is set to a musical backdrop by the theatrical electro-pop band Marina and the Diamonds.

RiaToss Productions merges the artistic minds of two visionary individuals, Tia Haraga and Ross Wirtanen who are both fashion trendsetters and public dance figures from Vancouver, BC. Instrumental in Vancouver’s growing vogue and fashion performance art scene, RIA TOSS combines an infectious eccentric style with over-the-top personalities using choreography, fashion, photography and film. Together they have performed and styled for some of Canada’s most up-and-coming recording artists such as Nikki Yanofsky, Kat Glavas, Brock Zanrosso and Anjulie.
