PARC-EXTENSION is a critical inquiry grounded in everyday rituals. While the play takes place in the working-class, immigrant, predominantly South Asian neighbourhood of Parc-Extension in Montréal, it examines and challenges the speaker’s relationship to space. The piece, created out of a walking somatic ritual that occurred over several months, explores notions of belonging, race, gentrification, memory, grief and isolation.

Please be advised this reading contains brief mentions of racism, violence, and grief.
