Currently in Toronto, we have The Little Prince: A Physical Theatre Adaptation, a groundbreaking new production at Theatre Passe Muraille (TPM). It is one a truly lovely experience for theatre and The Little Prince fans alike.
Theatre Passe Muraille is pleased to announce the return of #BeyondTO this spring, for the ‘mini festival’s’ second iteration featuring two pieces that explore the breadth of human experience and showcase perspectives rarely seen on stage.
Opening the festival on May 10th is Camille: The Story, by Audrey-Anne Bouchard (Montréal), an immersive performance designed to engage all of the senses—except sight. After his close friend Camille’s departure, Pierre navigates her absence and revisits memories that take shape through movement, smell and sound.
Finally! It is feeling like Spring has arrived in Toronto.
This means, it is perfect timing to head out and enjoy some theatre in the city. Below, my theatre listings for the next few weeks. Lots of great performances for all audiences and budgets.
As Aquarians, like myself, continue to celebrate on for the next few weeks, I have compiled a few more events to add to your celebrations.
Winter can be a difficult time to get around, however, this lists includes a wide array of events for your enjoyment.
An interactive, multi-screen narrative experience created by filmmaker and multi-media artist Naomi Jaye, MIRIAM’S WORLD takes over Theatre Passe Muraille’s Mainspace from December 9-18 and features Pamela Palsat, Isai Rivera Blas, Scott Clarkson, Pascale Couderc, Tarick Glancy, Adrian Griffin, Gloria Mampuya, Brian Rhodes, and Pete Smith.
Theatre Passe Muraille (TPM) wraps up their latest productions, May I Take Your Arm? and Ephemeral Artifacts aim to explore how we can share experiences and art when having to be apart. TPM’s artistic director, Marjorie Chan, describe these works as creating “intimate and engaging spaces for dialogue, empathy and connection.”
Theatre Passe Muraille‘s (TPM) presents TPM & Chill series as part of their digital Winter Season. The previously announced shows 11:11 by Samson Bonkeabantu Brown and Speculation by Leslie Ting will have a four-performance digital run, coming to you LIVE from Theatre Passe Muraille, to be enjoyed from the comfort of your own home.
In Poly Queer Love Ballad, Nina (Anais West), a polyamorous bisexual poet, meets Gabbie (Sara Vicruck), a monogamous lesbian songwriter, at an open mic night. With two microphones, a loop pedal, and an array of instruments, they struggle to reconcile their fierce mutual attraction with their opposing perspectives on love.
Located in Sarnia, Ontario, the Aamjiwnaang First Nations reserve and its 900 residents are smothered by one of Canada’s largest petrochemical corridors: the Chemical Valley. Siblings Vanessa Gray and Lindsay Beze Gray have dedicated their lives to fighting the pollution that threatens their community’s health, safety and future. In The Chemical Valley Project, theatre makers and friends Julia Howman and Kevin Matthew Wong document Vanessa and Lindsay’s vital activism and journeys as land defenders and water protectors.
Firstly, apologies friends. I’ve owed you an instalment of my In The City series for some time. No despair! Here are a few personal suggestions of some events you should get to in the next few weeks.
