Groundwater is
the story of two girls and the refuge they aspire to build
underground.
Written
by company member Erin Shields (Toronto), with an original
soundscape by Joe Lapinski, Groundwater's design team
includes Tyler Sainsbury, Whitney Sellors, Lara Eggleton,
Sergio Forest.
Groundwater
is a dark take on our future explores the consequences of
our over-consumption. Jeanne and Matilda live in a world
that seems hopeless.
Jeanne,
a young woman from the city who is distraught by the capture
of her father and the threat of being quarantined escapes
into the sewers and discovers an underground lake. She keeps
her sanctuary a secret and prepares for the arrival of
family and friends.
Enter
Matilda, a young woman from the margin camps, she finds
Jeanne's space while looking for food and water. Jeanne
captures Matilda and befriends her. In an attempt to find
hope the two begin to construct a utopia underground
together.
Through
innovative theatrical technique and experimental approaches
the collective presents the second development of
Groundwater this spring in St. Catharines and
Toronto.
Suitcase in Point Theatre
Company moved the imagination of audiences with their recent
success, Be Wearing Wolf, at Toronto's Harbourfront
Centre March 2004. The show has sold out around the Golden
Horseshoe.
Over
the last four years, this ten body collaboration has
performed excitingly creative multi-disciplinary cabarets,
including their recent premiere, A Junky's Cabaret.
They are known for other wild dance parties and events that
work at bringing the St. Catharines' community together. Up
and coming is their rock tour of A Junky's Cabaret in
bars around Southern Ontario culminating in a special
performance in Guleph with Toronto-based band, The Williams.
