Michael Ondaatje collaborates with Daniel Brooks to adapt his Governor General’s Award-winning novel, Divisadero.
Following a highly successful run last season, this is Ondaatje’s first full-length work for the stage in over two decades. Divisadero: a performance is a violent and passionate narrative about how a single event powerfully shapes the lives of two sisters. Examining themes of memory, identity, love and the grip of the past on the present, it is an exploration of the intimate relationship between the speaker and the listener and of language’s ability to weave a magical spell.
The production features original music written for the piece and performed by Juno-nominated singer/songwriter Justin Rutledge who is part of the ensemble cast which features Liane Balaban, Maggie Huculak, Tom McCamus, and Amy Rutherford. Divisadero: a performance is designed by Andrea Lundy, Alexander MacSween, Jeremy Mimnagh and John Thompson.
