Theatre Ad Infinitum presents the Canadian Premiere of the award-winning co-devised pieced directed by Nir PALDi (2005-2007), with music and performance ny Amy NOSTBAKKEN (2005-2007)

The poignant tale of a tormented woman whose search for identity becomes a descent into madness. One woman uses the rich nuances of her unique voice with a distilled style of physical performance to weave together this story of pain, beauty and unceasing internal conflict. Inspired by the lives and work of Virginia Woolf, Silvia Plath and Anne Sexton, Ad Infinitum brings to life this poetic waltz with death. A courageous, remorseless experience that walks you down the fine line between sanity and psychosis.
The Big Smoke is the winner of the ArgusAngel Award at the 2011 Brighton Festival Fringe. Amy Nostbakken is also nominated for a Manchester Theatre Award for Best Studio Performance and was nominated for Female Performer in the Latest Awards, Brighton. The production premiered to rave reviews at the 2010 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, leading to a national tour of Britain in spring/summer 2011 that included stops in London, Manchester, Liverpool, Oxford and Leeds.

CLOUT presents a play created and performed by Mine CERCI (2009-2011), George RAMSAY (2009-2011), Sacha PLAIGE (2009-2011) and Jennifer SWINGLER (2009-2011).

Fresh from a five star run at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Clout are back and exploring the life and works of Russian absurdist writer Daniil Kharms with their second production How a Man Crumbled.
With physical prowess and devilish humour, a bouffon-esque gang caked in clay take us on a joyful and raucous journey through the backstreets of St Petersburg where babushkas fall from windows smashing like porcelain and a cucumber can kill a man.
Switching style and tone the piece goes through expressionist silent film, grotesque humour, slap-stick violence and choreography and all the while dancing on the grave of the ever irreverent genius of nonsense himself, Daniil Kharms.

Shutterland: a landscape of recorded voices and lost stories. When a secret is discovered, it reveals a hidden past.
