DISPLACED // Our newest physical theatre work, Displaced, was initially conceptualized in 2020 as an exploration of place and home. As voluntary immigrants to Canada and travellers in our work as artists, we’ve come to understand the impact of leaving our homeland and how that affects family, language, cultural specifics and the physical landscape that defines home for us.

Alongside feelings of adventure and expanded knowledge that come with cross-cultural experiences, there are feelings of loss, a need for ‘belonging’, and a deep visceral longing for home, leaving us feeling displaced. That’s where this piece was born, as we explore the importance of human connection, our ability to integrate into new places, and the remarkable capacity of humans to form new units of support and kinship.

The performance opens with the premiere of the short film “Displaced” followed by the stage performance of the work, which marks the premiere of both.

"An immersive dance theatre experience takes the stage at UCalgary next week, leading audiences through a journey of climate chaos. Rather than seating the audience like traditional theatre, the performance sends viewers on a tour through three areas of the University Theatre and outdoors on campus. Cree artist and storyteller Sandra Lamouche and settler artist Melanie Kloetzel in the Faculty of Arts are co-creators of the tour."
