kicked in the end: a magic show

Shawn DeSouza-Coelho
(Toronto, Ontario)

The Show

Kicked in the end: a magic show is a boundary-defying production that interrogates race in Canadian theatre, questioning our deeply held assumptions about illusion and identity. What starts as wacky, rapid-fire magician’s patter soon transforms into something more powerful — a poetic interrogation of race and belonging. Shawn DeSouza-Coelho doesn’t just perform tricks; he pulls apart assumptions, revealing the hidden gears of racial bias in magic, theatre, and society at large.

Acknowledge the Land & People

With gratitude and appreciation, MT Space acknowledges that we live, learn, and benefit on the traditional territory of
the Chonnonton, Anishinaabeg (Ojibway, Mississauga, Chippewa, and Algonquin), and Haudenosaunee Confederacy
(Six Nations including the Mohawk, Cayuga, Onondaga, Seneca, Oneida, and Tuscarora Nations).

This includes disputed territory known colonially as the Haldimand Tract,
which originally included six miles on each side of the Grand River, from the river’s source to Lake Erie.

We acknowledge our responsibilities to share land and resources peacefully
under the ‘Dish with One Spoon’ and ’Two Row’ covenants.

We honour that these Nations of people have been living on, working on, and caring for
this place from time immemorial and continue to do so today.
