This year’s Brave New Works Festival is set to be a ‘place of convergence’ for Hamilton artists
“With all of these pieces, there’s something really about perspective,” says co-curator Donna-Michelle St. Bernard. “There’s something about not just risk and performance, but risk and experience… These are stories that I could not know if you did not tell them to me. And I think that’s an important piece of broadening the voices in theatre.”
In many ways, theatre artists and magicians have the same job. We push the bounds of a live experience to startle audiences into confronting their realities. We aim to tell stories that linger. For a magician, there’s no such thing as “it can’t be done.” It can always be done, one way or another.
