Now Touring | The Last 15 Seconds

“...riveting...”, “...essential art for our day...”,
& “...highest standard in theatre arts.”

- The Waterloo Region Record

Terrorism is reframed through the tragic death of Syrian-American filmmaker Mustapha Akkad and his daughter Rima. Through their eyes we see a series of coordinated attacks that hit three prominent hotels in the Jordanian capital Amman, in 2005. An imagined physical and verbal dialogue takes place between Akkad and Rawad Jassem Mohammad Abed, the suicide bomber, exploring their lives and memories as if in DVD extras. Multimedia and bodies collide and explode.

The show features performances by Trevor Copp (of Tottering Biped Theatre), Anne-Marie Donovan* (InterArts Matrix), Nada Homsi, Pam Patel, and Alan K. Sapp (Lost & Found Theatre).

Performance Dates:

November 6 – 21, 2010 — International Tour to Jordan, Syria & Lebanon
March 16 – 19, 2011 — Intrepid Theatre, Victoria BC
March 23 – April 2, 2011 — Firehall Arts Centre, Vancouver, BC
April 6 – 16, 2011 — Theatre Passe Muraille, Toronto, ON

Now Touring | Seasons of Immigration

"...fast-paced and fun to watch."

- The Waterloo Region Record

Seasons of Immigration is set on a bare stage using simple props and costumes, and is told through physical movement, light-hearted text, live painting and an original electro-acoustic soundscape. The play draws from the stories of 30 immigrants who settled in the heart of Canada. An exploration of adaptation, language barriers, racism, loss of intergenerational connection, and the need to maintain cultural integrity while facing redefinition of self in a foreign land.
