UPCOMING
COMMUNITY SERIES
Join Page1 Theatre on Sunday, February, 22nd from 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm for an afternoon of food, connection, and a potluck!
This month we are partnering with Breaking Circus, a Black owned circus company. We will be learning some fun circus activities in a safe, and accessible way, tea tasting, and enjoying some yummy food. You do not need to have had previous circus or any performance experience, and folks can also choose to watch. The goal for these events is to bring people together.
There will be tea, coffee, and desserts. Participants are welcome to bring some food to share, but this is not mandatory.
THE LARGEST QUEER PERFORMANCE FESTIVAL IN MI’KMA’KI / ATLANTIC CANADA.
LOCAL - REGIONAL - NATIONAL ARTISTS
IN DEVELOPMENT
This show aims to push back and tackle misinformation and misconceptions about refugees and asylum seekers, while highlighting the fact that everyone deserves a safe place to live, access to health care, food, and water.
This story will also draw on the increasing threat of climate change, specifically here in Mi’kma’ki / Atlantic Canada, and will challenge audiences to ask themselves - what does it mean to be a refugee?
What does it mean to seek asylum?
Combining first-hand testimony from survivors in Holland, and Toronto, as well as over five years of research, this show uses the 2016 gay purge of people in Chechnya as a starting place to reflect the current global rise of anti-Queer and anti-Trans rhetoric. Through text, movement, and music, we follow four characters who face the impacts of forced displacement, generational colonization, and ong0ing war.
