This Will Be Our Last Transmission as part of Alumnae Theatre's Fireworks Festival. Written by Natalie Frijia and directed by Ara, Transmission opens November 8, 2017 in Toronto.
You can’t stop in the Death Zone. Above 8,000 meters, you’re already dying. When a storm traps three women, expert climbers, just below the summit of K2, they face a challenge even greater than climbing mountains: getting down. And the window is quickly closing.

FLOODED - abstract physical theatre and a summer sail. It's pelvic ridiculousness on a boat.
For seven evenings in July, NORTH AMERICA presents an hour long performance/sail around the Toronto Islands. It's abstract physical theatre. It's an intimate summer boat cruise. In this non-narrative and highly physical show, performers grow into humping dinosaurs, fight the patriarchy with luscious locks, climb bodies in search of the right embrace, and stare at the sea. There is a mystery in every pelvis and we just might awaken yours.
Conceived & Directed by: Ara
Featuring and in collaboration with: Hayden Finkelshtain, Melanie Leon, Duncan Rowe, & Nicole Wilson
