After Sundown

The estranged adult child of a troubled marriage returns home to help their parents in a time of crisis. Lu, grieving the recent death of their partner, is defining their place on the gender-identity spectrum; their father is struggling with Alzheimer's; and their mother is struggling with the responsibilities of being a caregiver. As the characters seek a safe and loving way through the letting go of pasts and the challenges of their complicated present, their reachings for a better future are complicated by the vivid, theatricalized presence of old pain and new longings. 

Running time
90 minutes

Breathe

Set in Nigeria during the height of the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, one man tries to go about his life as an asthmatic. Stuck with ordering an Uber instead of boarding a bus to his workplace, the fear of being wrongly admitted as a COVID patient in a country where the pandemic was largely exploited makes him worry about the state of the country he lives, as he takes the audience through several misinformation, religious ideologies, extortion, family crisis, and funny moments during the pandemic.

Running time

Iago Speaks

At first glance, Iago Speaks appears to follow the events immediately after the curtain comes down on Shakespeare’s Othello, but the story quickly turns, introducing us to Iago’s Jailor, a bit player, as he tries to find some purpose in his repetitive task of keeping watch over Iago.

90 minutes

The Child You Deserve

Under the shadow of anti-communism and Duplessis-era politics, three generations of Jewish women are gathered around a Montreal apartment's kitchen table. Jenny, a secretary and 'accidental activist,' has big dreams for her daughter and a surprising second chance at love with her partner, Rivka. When Jenny's firebrand mother Lily crashes back into their lives just before Yom Kippur, the women have to confront their dreams, fears and responsibilities for their communities, the future and each other. This intergenerational family story serves as a sequel to A Man in the House by Elinore Siminovitch, and was written by her granddaughter.

Running time
135 minutes
