Intergenerational (dis) Connection

 

NOV 12

​​4:30 PM
Presentation House Theatre

We invite you to join us for an empowering performance directed by  

Dr. Michelle LaFlamme, who is an educator and advocate for the use of theatre for social justice.  The development of the show has been supported by Assistant Director Faedra Mirhashemy, Hamed Mafakheri, as Sound designer, and Sebnem Ozpeta, as Visual designer.

This performance developed through a five-day interactive workshop; Participants from immigrant and refugee communities were invited to engage in an interactive workshop to create simple stories reflecting the theme. We used theatre-for-living techniques, image theatre games, and the symbolic language of theatre to devise a brief performance that suggests intergenerational disconnection and intergenerational connection. After the performance, we will have a talkback about the show. The goal of the performance is to spark dialogue that leads to insights about how to create intergenerational connections within immigrant and refugee communities in Canada.

 

Content Advisory: 

This is a devised show, and content advisories may be provided depending on the evolving creative process. Viewer discretion is advised.

In the spirit of storytelling, we pause to honour this land's ancient and contemporary narratives. We stand upon the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.

Just as we celebrate the diverse voices of immigrant and refugee artists, we recognize the First Peoples who have woven this place's first and enduring tales. Their stories are a testament to resilience, creativity, and the power of community. As we come together from many corners of the world, may we always remember, respect, and learn from this land's stories.

Thanks for subscribing!
