The Complex: A Toronto Tale
by Jack Grinhaus
World Premiere
A part of the 2010 Toronto International Fringe Festival
July 1-11, 2010
Based on interviews with Torontonians, The Complex: A Toronto Tale is an intense parabolic play that explores what it means to be a Torontonian. This innovative, visceral fusion of text-based and physical-theatre traces the memories of four survivors of a Canada Day fire and explores how each of their lives and personal struggles relate to the eccentricities and stresses that come from living in Toronto.
A tale of four rooms, wound together in a Robert Lepage – esque type of movement piece… you will leave knowing you have just watched the future of theatre in Toronto -Mooney on Theatre.
