Coming to Toronto this January! Toronto Dance Theatre is pleased to support The Blackwood at the University of Toronto Mississauga in presenting the Canadian premiere of Faye Driscoll’s (@faye_driscoll) major new performance 𝘞𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨.

𝘞𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 is a multi-sensory performance, conceived by Driscoll as a moving human sculpture made of bodies, sounds, scents, liquids, and objects. Ten performers perpetually enact a morphing “tableau vivant” on a mobile raft-like stage that surges and spins through crisis and alienation. Grappling with the Anthropocene—the geologic toll of environmental destruction resulting from human activity on the Earth—𝘞𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 considers its effects on individual bodies and their interdependencies. It explores the unstable boundaries between grief, anger, emergency, and eroticism.

Conceived, choreographed and directed by Faye Driscoll.

Performed by James Barrett, Kara Brody, Miguel Alejandro Castillo, Amy Gernux, Shayla-Vie Jenkins, Jennifer Nugent, Cory Seals, Maya LaLiberté, Carlo Antonio Villanueva, Jo Warren.

Curated by Christine Shaw.

Tickets are available on Eventbrite. For more information, please check out The Blackwood website.
