2016 Festival of Original Theatre: “Staging Realities”

The theme of FOOT 2016, Staging Reality, speaks to the blending of reality and artifice:  a blurring that has been receiving a great deal of academic attention in recent years, both in Canada and abroad.  This blurring breaks down distinctions between the roles of audience, critic, artist, activist, and academic, as the opinions of “real people” are increasingly sought out by theatre makers, and artists increasingly turn their focus to the “real world” effect of their work.
