Since we don’t yet have our calendar of events automatically feeding into our blog, I just realized I ought to announce an upcoming performance here.
(In the future, we intend for you to be able to select your email/feed preferences more precisely – this announcement probably pertains only to those in the eastern-Toronto-to-Oshawa areas.)

Can families rendered desperate by sickness create healthy homes?

“Life at its most naked, exposing the resentment and confusion that can overwhelm the most loving caregivers …. the actors escape gravity.” - Michael Evans, SEE Magazine
Jonathon cares for a mother with Alzheimer’s, and, he believes, a bad attitude. Full of hope, he tries to inspire her to get off the couch and join him in ecological action. When a caregiver does everything right, but still everything is wrong, what can he do with repressed rage? Carlynn cares for a son with inexplicable crippling pain. When completely-debilitating pain hasn’t been cured after 12 years, what can a family do? Struggling to transform their desperate homes, to their families they propose: “Let’s do a project together, where the project is a play, and the play is about us.” The result is explosive drama, surprising humour, startling visuals, and breathtaking dance - a strange and stunning tapestry of hope. Heal Thyself sincerely tests the idea that caregiving can be rewarding, and healing.

Heartbreaking … uplifting“ |
