Event Notes

× Cockroach
By Ho Ka Kei (Jeff Ho)

Directed by Mike Payette
Choreographed by Hanna Kiel

September 13 – October 9, 2022 in the Mainspace

A cockroach smoking catnip. A bard lamenting over immortality. A boy stuck in a sticky situation. Three splinters caught in a collision of language, longing, and lobsters (who sometimes burst, and who sometimes burp).

From Toronto Theatre Critics award-winning playwright Ho Ka Kei (Jeff Ho), Cockroach is a coming-of-age play about the stories we tell ourselves to comfort, to survive, to resist, to overcome, and to be.
