BALLAD OF THE BURNING STAR
A Theatre Ad Infinitum production
Co-presented by Acting Up Stage Company and Why Not Theatre in association with Koffler Centre of the Arts
Armed with music, killer heels, and a lethal troop of divas, an enraged Israeli executes a story of victimhood, persecution, aggression and love. With shrapnel sharp voices and moves as smooth as an oiled tank chain, this cabaret troop invited you on a journey into the core of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
After taking the Edinburgh Festival by storm, this explosive show comes to Toronto for one week only!
Nightly free pre-show chats 45 minutes before curtain time.
