Guilt isn't what it used to be. But is trust? Beatriz Pizano tests her friendship with Lyon Smith by culling incriminating details from his average life. Under a rich visual palette composited from live security cameras and found footage, what begins as a eulogy for the human costs of our collective safety becomes a ritual to atone for a decade of repression, war, and paranoia.

Directed and designed by multi-award winning artist and Aluna Artistic Producer, Trevor Schwellnus, this daring piece best showcases Aluna’s continuing commitment to risk and experimentation. After successful development and presentations in New York City (La MaMa ETC), Bogotá, Colombia (Festival Alternativo), and Montreal (The Hemispheric Institute’s Encuentro), the piece returns for its Toronto premiere at Aluna Theatre.
