ROBERTSON THEATRE

 
This is the story of an imaginary story of an imaginary child in an imaginary land. It’s also the story of the performer/writer’s inner life and the landscape of his mind. There are parts for everyone who’d like to join, and seats for everyone who’d like to watch. There are scripts to read and things to play with.

A poetic, innovative theatre performance about the psychological challenge of living in uncertain times, it’s also an invitation for audiences to join in on the artistic process, and a playful leap of faith into the power of a roomful of people discovering a new story by creating it with each other.

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.

David Gagnon Walker has written a play for himself and a gathering of friends and strangers to read together out loud. It’s the imaginary story of an imaginary child in an imaginary land. A poetic fable about how to live with the slowly unfolding emergencies of our world, 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 new story together.


“If David Gagnon Walker’s name appears on a theatre playbill, expect the unexpected.” —  Louis B. Hobson, Calgary Herald
