Art of Peace

NOTE!!!! DUE TO A PERFORMER INJURY THE SHOW FOR THURSDAY FEB 18TH HAS BEEN CANCELLED. THE FINAL SHOW FOR SATURDAY FEB 20TH IS STILL ON!

Ancestral questions given life in an ancient place, haunted by peace.

Art of Peace, a dance-based performance installation, explores our relationship to peace set inside walls built for war. Stories, images, and somatic textures weave a legacy of how we fight within and throughout to claim what is ours, to find peace and to nourish ourselves.

Join us in one of Toronto's most engaging open winter spaces as we gather intimately in the warmth of the Blue Barracks of Fort York to honour and measure the cost of peace from our Indigenous and immigrant-settler roots. Don your parka and be prepared to feast with mouth, eyes, and ears. You may leave feeling satiated and hungry.
