To A Flame

To a Flame is an explosive theatrical feast of image and language that pulls the audience deep into a Victorian Gothic Horror. Three confined women await the conclusion of their stories in the ancestral home of the man they call Father. Secrets burn to be revealed, aches of the past refuse to be suppressed, and the very house itself vibrates with desire for revenge.

This groundbreaking new work by Governor General Award-winning playwright Erin Shields and directed by Josette Bushell-Mingo intertwines American Sign Language and English with vibrant movement and live music into a haunting, multi-sensory performance that brings Deaf and hearing audiences into a shared theatrical experience through its bilingual artistic design. The ensemble cast features Deaf performer and cultural leader Dawn Jani Birley, with Nickeshia Garrick, and Juliana Monk, accompanied by cellist Beth Silver.
