SPACIOUSNESS
Sept. 13-Oct. 7, 2023.
Written by Ahmed Moneka and Nicky Lawrence
Staged at Fort York National Historic Site, Spaciousness is a compelling new theatrical experience. Be transported to the past to encounter a multitude of characters who bring to life expansive stories of love, life, and loss during the War of 1812. Then be brought back to present day with a story of surviving conflict that encourages us towards peace.
Traverse the grounds of Fort York and meet a cast of characters while travelling from one historic building to another, becoming immersed in stories of life during wartime.
Spaciousness poses vital questions about conflict and peace while focusing on lives lived through war and histories traditionally obscured from this time and place.
