MARY'S WEDDING

A Métis Love Story: Theatres remain sensibly government-shuttered, so if you'd like to watch this play by Stephen Massicotte, directed by Jenna Rodgers, streaming is the way.

Plot: Tomorrow, Mary is to be wed. Tonight she dreams of her beloved Charlie — and the tale across time and seas that brought them together. In this new look at a Canadian classic, witness a love like no other from the Alberta Prairies to the battlegrou­nds of the First World War. Tai Amy Grauman is Mary; Todd Houseman is Charlie; featuring original music by Kathleen Nisbet.

You have 48 hours to watch once you input your code, and the show is 90 mins.

Details: Through Nov. 30 at citadelthe­atre.com, $29.40 for a streaming pass.

LUMINARIA

Held over due to all the love it was getting, the University of Alberta Botanic Garden's Carl Charest notes of the candle-lit pathway installati­on, “Our visitors have definitely shown us there is a strong need for a peaceful, outdoor, uncrowded activity in a beautiful setting. Now, in response to that demand, we're happy we can extend Luminaria into January for more people to enjoy.”

With over 100,000 visits last year, not a single COVID case was reported — just the thing if you'd like some structure and beauty to your outdoor sanity activity before we're allowed to cluster outside in small numbers starting Monday. Details: 5-10 p.m., Thursdays-Sundays through Jan. 31 at University of Alberta Botanic Garden (51227 AB-60, Spruce Grove), children $10; $20 adults at luminara.ualberta.ca.

DAYS OF BEING WILD (1990)

Ugh, I remember seeing this beauty in the theatre almost 30 years ago, but it is timeless. Wong Kar Wai's breakthrou­gh sophomore feature represents the first full flowering of his swooning signature style.

The director's inaugural collaborat­ion with both cinematogr­apher Christophe­r Doyle, who lends the film its gorgeously gauzy, hallucinat­ory texture, and actor Tony Leung — who appears briefly in a tantalizin­g teaser for a never-realized sequel — Days of Being Wild is an exhilarati­ng first expression of Wong 's trademark themes of time, longing, dislocatio­n, and the restless search for human connection. Part of Metro's Wong Kar Wai fest, Cantonese with subtitles, new 4k restoratio­n, 94 mins.

Details: streaming through

Feb. 19 at metrocinem­a.org, $9.
