Page1 Theatre is dedicated to the creation, and production of professional Queer work for the stage. We are particularly interested in creating interdisciplinary stories that combine text, and movement to tackle complex themes.

Often we are gathering with artists to play, and explore a story, rather than creating from a completed script. Artists of all backgrounds are encouraged to play, and ask questions in the room.

This show aims to push back and tackle misinformation and misconceptions about refugees and asylum seekers, while highlighting the fact that everyone deserves a safe place to live, access to health care, food, and water.

This story will also draw on the increasing threat of climate change, specifically here in Mi’kma’ki / Atlantic Canada, and will challenge audiences to ask themselves - what does it mean to be a refugee?

What does it mean to seek asylum?

Based on first-hand testimony, interviews with survivors, and research; this show uses the events of the gay purge in Chechnya in 2015 as a mirror to events past, and current.

The show includes movement, and verbatim text from survivors living in Toronto, and the Netherlands. Four bodies on stage begin to tell the story of the thousands of lives cut short, the people gone missing, and those unable to speak out.
