Kittly-Bender
Co-produced by Kẹmi Contemporary Dance Projects and DanceWorks coWorks
Meet Kittly, a product of simpler days. Cold and alone, she is famished for kinship in a time of ultra-connected individuals touching across frozen lakes of data. We find her trapped in a dank grotto where she has slipped through unseen cracks in the struggle to choose between real solitude and virtual community. The more Kittly hears her own voice, the better for her and all of us.
Kẹmi gratefully acknowledges support from the Manitoulin Conservatory for Creation and The Toronto Arts Council.
