Move your body. Feel your emotions. Become aware.
Sometimes the body speaks before the mind can find the words.
Movement gives those feelings space to breathe, shift, and be understood.
You don’t have to control every emotion.
You can listen to it.
Move with awareness.
Feel without judgment.
Reconnect with yourself.

We are incredibly honored and thrilled to share this wonderful review for NOSTOS by Liam Donovan, published in @intermissionmag.
“This rich and challenging dark comedy... packs an incredible amount into its 75-minute runtime.”
Reading words like, “I hope and expect that this confident production will return to Toronto and I look forward to revisiting it then,” fills our entire team with immense pride and excitement for what’s next.
A huge thank you to Liam Donovan and Intermission Magazine for taking the time to experience our show and for supporting independent, original theatre. Your thoughtful perspective means the world to us.

🚨 TODAY IS THE FINAL SHOW! 🚨

Only 1 chance left!
Don’t miss NOSTOS, the acclaimed Toronto Fringe production that the Toronto Star calls “wholly engaging” and “funny and horrific”.

As two Iranian-Canadian half-sisters watch the fallout of the January 2026 uprising in Iran from the safety of Toronto, two talking dogs and a live-in android have plenty to say about the situation themselves.

NOSTOS is a bold and absurd look at what it feels like to be thousands of kilometres away as life-changing events unfold in your homeland.

🎟️ This is your absolute last chance to catch the final performance before we close. Don’t wait—reserve tickets via the link in our bio right now!

زمستان تلخی بود
کام را زهر کرد
و گذشت

دست از سرمان برمیدارد این دنیای پرتوقع؟
روز به روز ، ماه به ماه ، فصل به فصل ، فرمایشات جدید دارد و عاشقان زندگی را محکوم به تاب اوری میکند.
