A Wake For Lost Time

Pi Theatre’s Provocateurs Series presents [elephants] collective’s A Wake for Lost Time. Running non-stop for 24 hours, A Wake for Lost Time is a theatrical ritual / experiment in its seventh iteration.  Built as a two-hour performance loop, the piece is somewhere between a play, a feat of strength, a church service, a football game, and a party.   

A Wake for Lost Time ritually explores how time passes through bodies and is a chance to encounter and meditate on, not only the loss of time, but on how we understand time, and how we, as human beings, are continuously at its ever-evolving mercy. 

“A Wake for Lost Time blurs the line between theatre and performance art –- creating a powerful, fully immersive spectacle that is both timely and timeless in its execution.” – Gian Verano

[elephants] collective is an experimental Toronto theatre collective that has been creating together since 2014.  The collective has had a range of manifestations over the years, but has always been founded on three values: extensive dramaturgy, rigorous physical training and ongoing inquiry into the range of possibilities available in the performer/audience exchange.  [elephants] has presented work in an array of venues and festivals including Rhubarb, SummerWorks, Toronto Fringe, DaPoPo’s Live-In Festival (Halifax), and through a number of residencies and independent productions.
