Here are 5 shows to check out at SummerWorks 2016.
SExT
In this PhD research project turned performance art, young people from Flemingdon and Thorncliffe Park use song, dance, rap and poetry to talk about sexuality in the wake of the controversy over Ontario's new sex ed curriculum. If you're wondering, SExT here stands for Sex Education by Theatre.
Inside
Who are you when you're home alone? That's the question this site specific performance explores. It's structured around a series of one-on-one encounters at a west end apartment, so buckle up for an intimate experience created by Cat Montgomery and Sasha Singer-Wilson.
#7Love
Head to the Paddock Tavern on Bathurst Street to hear from a panel of love experts, between the ages of 7 to 97, as they share stories that'll make you ask, what is love?
Two Indians
This show by Falen Johnson is described "a darkly comedic look at the landscape of being Indigenous." It brings together two woman who try to recreate a ceremony from their childhood in a Toronto alleyway. You can see it at the Factory Theatre.
