TomorrowLove

as part of RISERx 2023

TomorrowLove

Written by Rosamund Small
Directed by Nikki Shaffeeullah

Presented as part of  Why Not Theatre and Toronto Metropolitan University’s RISERx 2023.

 

What if you could hold the soul of your loved one in your hands? Or see inside their memories? Or talk to them after death? TomorrowLove is a cycle of short plays about love, sex, and the future. Questioning how innovation impacts relationships, these stories explore how technology can create new dimensions of human connection – and perhaps reveal what we should have known all along.

 


This project is part of Why Not’s PROVOKE stream of activities. PROVOKE projects are about creating change in our community, city and world.

This performance is 75 minutes.
