ERASER
Received a Dora Award nomination for Outstanding Achievement in Design - Sound Design - Theatre for Young Audiences
A student arrives in Canada from Pakistan at the start of their Grade 6 year. Eraser, an immersive physical theatre experience, delves into the memories and fantasies of a classroom of students as they figure out who they want to be. Six performers guide the audience through six different journeys, taking them along to the cafeteria, the change rooms, and the playground; to the places where they feel safest and most brave, vulnerable and most afraid. Eraser is created for all ages.
Eraser is presented as part of RISER Project 2019, a collaborative producing model created by Why Not Theatre, with the generous support of RBC Foundation, TD Bank Group, and the Government of Canada.
