Leaving Still

Nuit Blanche, Toronto, 2016
Dramaturge and Visual Consultant on Michelle Polak’s one-woman show with Theatre Gargantua.

Leaving Still is an experiment in intimacy. A durational live art performance and installation punctuated every hour on the hour by Michelle  making of a sandwich for one volunteering audience member. The audience is then invited to ask Michelle any questions they want, which she answers directly and honestly before ushering  onlookers further into an exploration of her fascination with history from the microcosm of family to the macrocosm of the Big Bang.
