SUMMARY:The Herald
DESCRIPTION:The Herald\, an It Could Still Happen production in partnership with Buddies in Bad Times Theatre\, is next up in Buddies’ 2025 – 26 mainstage season. A formally innovative\, poetic show about labour\, making art\, and being in a body\, this new work from Jill Connell and It Could Still Happen is a collaborative adventure seven years in the making.  \nMore about the show:  \nA lecture on Antonio Banderas’ astrological chart\, a chorus of garment factory workers\, and a long walk in a small mortal body. Jill Connell’s poetics work backward\, interlacing Greek myth and the grindset\, trying to figure out how we got here. The Herald questions the choreography of labour as it asks us for faith and gives us something like meaning\, or at least a new way of paying attention. By the end of the play\, all of us will know how to be in Shoppers Drug Mart\, wondering how to handle time\, and what will happen to all the work we do not make. \nAbout It Could Still Happen:  \nIt Could Still Happen is a theatre collective that has been working together since 2013. Founded by Jill Connell\, our shows are based on formally-innovative texts that approach the embodied experience of how things feel\, prioritizing bold aesthetics and the space we’re in. We value long-term creation processes that invite experimentation\, trust\, group work\, and care. We aim to offer performances that have a startling sense of aliveness and possibility; that are as ferocious as they are tender. Past productions include The Supine Cobbler and HROSES: Outrage à raison\, both performed in abandoned warehouses prior to becoming condos. We’ve been making The Herald since 2019\, asking: what if not knowing yet can be a way of working?

SUMMARY:Bijuriya
DESCRIPTION:Gabriel Dharmoo is a music composer and experimental vocalist. Bijuriya is a drag artist engaging with South Asian culture. Gabriel values innovation and risk taking as he navigates Eurocentric artistic scenes. Bijuriya seeks to touch the hearts of fellow brown queers. Together\, Gabriel and Bijuriya embody different facets of the same individual\, engaging in an interplay of duality that delves into the hybrid\, multifaceted layers that coexist within their identity. Through an exuberant medley of drag and humour\, as well as an eclectic array of musical genres — from original pop tunes to Bollywood soundtracks — Bijuriya playfully examines the role of vocality in self-expression\, utilizing song\, speech\, and lip-syncing as tools for exploring cultural identity.

SUMMARY:Little Deaths Salon
DESCRIPTION:Kaleigh Trace and Christa Couture are happy to announce the return of the Little Deaths Salon on October 17 at Buddies in Bad Times Theatre in Toronto after a sold out run in July. Little Deaths Salon is a quarterly performance series that explores the awe inspired by humans’ most intimate experiences: sex and death. Kaleigh is a queer\, disabled therapist\, former sex educator\, and writer who is also living with terminal cancer. The idea for Little Deaths Salon came from her desire to have more irreverent conversations about death\, and her history of having reverent conversations about sex. \n“Performers and listeners alike experienced the rush of release: taboo transformed into triumph\, shame into sacred bliss.” – Toronto Star \nHosted by Kaleigh Trace and Christa Couture\, Little Deaths Salon will feature Jody Chan\, poet and grief and death worker; Rania El Mugammer\, Sudanese artist and liberation educator; Brian Francis\, food and fiction writer; Kaleb Roberston\, curator of joy; Veronica Simmonds\, sonic sorceress; and Rae Spoon\, musician\, producer\, author\, and national treasure.
