About Evan Webber and Frank Cox-O’Connell:
Performance makers Evan Webber and Frank Cox-O’Connell have created and performed over a dozen performance works in Canada, the United States and Europe – most frequently, with fellow co-founders, in the group One Reed Theatre and as core collaborators with Small Wooden Shoe. Their work aims to unite the informal and participatory with the precisely rehearsed; it documents their ongoing conversation about reality, performance and change.

World premiere.
Taking a cue from military rehabilitation programs, Evan Webber and Frank Cox-O’Connell set out to define "theatre of war" expressly for the civilian population – and to challenge everything about theatre’s communitarian origins and radical potential.
Limited to just 30 seats per show with a pair of headphones for each audience member, this is contemporary performance at its most topical, personal, immediate and intimate.
Co-produced by Harbourfront Centre.
"A profound and poignant synthesis of art and war."
– Irish Theatre magazine
