SUMMARY:cicadas
DESCRIPTION:What if your house had a mind of its own?  \nIn 2035\, a decade after the Trinity Bellwoods Collapse in Toronto\, an investigation into the mysterious disappearance of a young girl leads to a very peculiar house that has sunk into the earth. A flood with no leak\, an ominous voice\, and hordes of cicadas are only three of the many strange things seeping up through the old floorboards of Trim and Janie’s house. Could a strangely luminous painting unlock long-hidden secrets of what lies beneath the home?  \nThis world premiere with live music is a fully scored eco-thriller that imagines alternative realities for climate change with a gripping\, immersive story\, illuminating our profound connection to nature without laying blame.
