*There will be a post-show dialogue with the artists after both the 7:30pm shows.

This bold new creation—envisioned and choreographed by Anthea Seah (T.H.E Dance Company, Singapore) and Josh Martin (Company 605, Vancouver)—brings together a creative team of performers and collaborators from both cities in a meeting of voices, seeking out what it means to build and to break.

A fragmented team is determined to “keep it together” as their bodies are launched into an alternate realm, propelled by unnatural momentum and shared delusion. As their bubble of fantasy drifts towards the spike of reality, we are thrown into an unstable world of compulsive magical thinking.

What happens when collective imagination exceeds capacity? When our wildest ambitions threaten to burst under the weight of their own making? When the sin of slowness collides with the pressure to produce? Sloth Canon unfolds as an absurdly fragile scenario, hellbent on building forward while simultaneously falling apart.
