FEATURED PLAY DESCRIPTIONS

THE NEGROES ARE CONGREGATING is a contemporary look at race relations 2.0. Speaking directly to the (Canadian) audience, the play displays seemingly everyday encounters but extracts political correctness. It's bubbling, haunting, and 100% unapologetic.

THE ADONIS PROJECT is, at face value, a story about human beings and their relationship to vanity. The play follows Beauty and her struggles navigating the dating world, as problems arise due to partners wanting more from her (Perfection). Soon she meets a surgeon named Alexander Castle, who shows her a different way of living and uses her as a muse to pitch his new groundbreaking idea: a world where everyone gets the opportunity to be deemed flawless and equal. Consequently, this proposes conflicts with government laws and things take a turn for the worst.

ZIP CODE 45LS | Bina is a 9 year-old child who dreams about becoming a superhero. There's only one problem: she lives in the infamous 45LS area, a low-income French neighbourhood known for many things...but not its plethora of superheroes. To what extent does a 'problematic' postal code determine a child's future? Surrounded by her inseparable cousins, mischievous friends and resourceful aunties, Bina is determined to find out. Based on the author's real childhood memories, 'ZIP CODE 45LS' is a one-woman play that blends stand-up comedy, poetry, dance and storytelling. After traveling to Africa with her first play Made in Congo, Sabrina Moella invites the audience to find out about her 'wonder years' in this irresistible coming-of-age story set in an urban area.
