The TAXI Project – an initiative of PEN Canada and the Art for Real Change Collective – is an original play exploring issues of freedom of expression and the complex realities of living in exile.
Written by four members of PEN Canada’s Writers in Exile Program (Emma Beltran, Martha Kuwee Kumsa, Sheng Xue, and Goran Simic) the play follows four characters forced to leave their home countries and the struggle to create a new life in Canada.
Following the play will be a reading and discussion with members of the Writers in exile Program.
RSVP to Josh Bloch 416-703-8448 x23 or jbloch@pencanada.ca.
Daytime performances will be accompanied by an interactive workshop and will be attended predominantly by youth.
