Event Description

Meagan O’Shea (Toronto) takes over the theatre with WE DON’T NEED ANOTHER HERO, a provocative dance-theatre work inspired by the Occupy movement. Part performance, part communal catharsis, part experiential spectacle - HERO is a poetic metaphor for life, told through story, dance, and an immersive sonic experience. O'Shea asks "Where Truth Lies" all the while muscle-testing herself (and the audience) on the dilemma between action/discomfort and complacency/convenience.

Over two consecutive weekends, the 19th ROMP! FESTIVAL OF DANCE premieres Joshua Beamish's solo collection LONE WOLF; unleashes Meagan O’Shea's Occupy-inspired WE DON’T NEED ANOTHER HERO; features an international cast of dancers and writers in our returning series PRESENT/TENSE 10 (topped off with CAKE ON THE STAGE); introduces a new, free outdoor program ROMP! IN THE PARK in Beacon Hill Park; plus we'd like you to meet our 2016 ROMP! Artist-in-Residence Hyoseung Ye from Seoul, South Korea.
