Exit Strategy | Pinteresque

Using movement, dance, storytelling, ritual, live testimony, video and original music, this production plays on two main lines of action: The first, portrays the hardships of a family’s journey seeking refuge after escaping a war torn country. Through five episodes titled “Family Scenes 1 to 5,” we follow the family members as they leave home, cross the border, take a long and dangerous journey, and end up in a new and foreign land. The second is a series of abstracted scenes that comment on contemporary political issues like consuming media, parading war, exhibiting death and torture, and selling nations for corporate interests. This production is a multidisciplinary movement-based performance that is concerned with questions of spectatorship, witnessing, representation and responsibility.

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.
