A poetic fable about how to live with the slowly unfolding emergencies of our world, and a testament to the power of a roomful of people discovering a story together. Welcome back to the theatre. 

David Gagnon Walker has written a fantastical play for himself and a gathering of friends and strangers to read together out loud. It’s the story of the rise and fall of an imaginary civilization in an imaginary land. It’s also an invitation to join in on the artistic process, and a testament to the power of a roomful of people discovering a story together.

Created by a team of award-winning artists from across Canada, this unique immersive experience invites you back to the theatre after the strangest years of our lives, asking you to help tell a story about worry and wonder, loneliness and community, beauty and despair.

Participate according to your own comfort – read for a character, join the chorus, or sit back and watch – and join this humorous, cathartic, exploration of our innermost private fears.
