11/12/2016 00:00:00 The Enchanted Loom Downtown


City of Toronto All Events http://ift.tt/2fxtIxc Cahoots Theatre Company marks their 30th anniversary with the world premiere of The Enchanted Loom, produced in association with Factory. The debut play by neurologist Suvendrini Lena is directed by Marjorie Chan. The Sri Lankan civil war has left many scars on Thangan and his family, most noticeably the loss of his eldest son and crippling epileptic seizures brought on by his torture during the war. As the final days of the war play out; the family watches from Toronto, where a neurological procedure provides them with a chance to heal. This poetic play, part medical part mystical, is a harrowing tale of loss and hope that boldly exposes the joys and pain of unconditional love for family, and freedom.
