When we grow weary of fighting for what we want – a relationship, or a job or the creation of our art – we run. Pack a bag and book a ticket and go anywhere to escape what we can’t face. This piece follows such a journey. The exuberant excitement of leaving all of your problems behind only to find that, despite your best efforts, you’ve carried your problems with you, packed up neatly next to your shaving kit and spare clothes. The cumbersome emotional baggage that you simply can’t leave behind, no matter how far the North Train may carry you.
I am playing a special TIFF show at 107 Shaw next Friday the 10th at midnight! First live show in a while..
