There are these spaces in the city of Montréal, that exist either of their own accord or that seem to only exist when we create them, that are so horrific and beautiful at the same time. The backrooms, not necessarily as a system of lore, but as a visual medium, are so interesting. Because the aura and the air of the space functions never as a destination, but as a journey point.

When times become uncertain, belts fasten at every level of society: investors pull out, middle-class families start budgeting, and the most vulnerable individuals — often those suffering from mental health problems or disabilities — begin worrying about how they will pay next month’s rent and grocery bill.

Theatre has been around for much longer than Shakespeare unlike what many think- the first traces of theatre actually date all the way back to Minoan Crete! Dramas and plays like Oedipus Rex written by Sopphocle were the height of culture and entertainment- and held messages of identity and personal discovery, even sometimes stories of immigration.
