The Rabbit, the Water, and the Worms
An abusive father seeks forgiveness from the innermost epithets of his child, wife and mistress as he travels through the process of death.
The Unkindness of Ghosts
Should we feel responsible in the wake of tragedy? How much can one person do when they themselves are struggling? Have you ever missed the signs? In the hands of director Sylviane Allard, Emily Haley’s play, The Unkindness of Ghosts, is a brutal social commentary on the role of bystanders in regards to mental health. Set hauntingly to music, moments of open contemporary dance choreographed by Brianna Newman will help pull you into the action of this play and forge a unique, thought-provoking connection with the characters.
Presented in the Victor Mitchell Theatre at the Pumphouse Theatres.

pointless purSUIT depicts the stagnant, predictable, routine of the corporate day job. What does this mean for the everyday artist who wishes to break free and truly express their humanity in these working conditions. Go and get a “day job” they said.
poor recollections is a mixture of found text and a collection of self reflections. This play explores power dynamics, trauma, and healing.
Verre Brisé is a movement piece that exposes what it is like to feel isolated because of mental illness. This show specifically looks at Body Dysmorphia, and how those suffering must heal by looking inward.

| | Dance is a series of two performances:
Be Vardų, Be Kojų
La Vieja Astronauta

Fri, Jun 9th, 2023 at 9:30 pm
Be Vardų, Be Kojų
“Be Vardų, Be Kojų”, meaning ‘without names, without legs’, is an ongoing dance work exploring queer movement in Lithuanian folk dance. Using glitched 3D modeled representations of Lithuanian folk dance steps as a guide for directing choreographic decisions, “Be Vardų, Be Kojų” is an entirely new folk dance, using the amalgamous forms of the 3D models to question the rigidity of gender roles and assignments within Lithuanian language and dance.
La Vieja Astronauta
If a woman could have it her way, where would she choose to die, when she finds her roots and origin in different geographical places?

| | Innocence Astray
Fri, Jun 9th, 2023 at 7:00 pm
Sat, Jun 10th, 2023 at 7:00 pm
Fairytales are full of colorful and innocent characters, but after the tales are over, what happens to the characters? Innocence is a devised storytelling structure that explores the concept of losing innocence. It may look like a fairytale on the outside, (as we follow Alice, Peter, and Red Riding Hood), but it truly explores the trials and tribulations of youth colliding with the darker pieces of adulthood. How do we lose ourselves when sexuality tempts us? What happens if we refuse to let go of a time when things were simple, and what happens when the world you know no longer makes sense. We strive to ask the question: What is it to lose your innocence, and who do you become when it's gone? Why do we need to keep a piece of ourselves alive?
