The Coward
Two characters find themselves trapped in a cave and confronted by a supernatural Pit after becoming lost in the deep woods and encountering a mysterious Creature. Lines of logic and reason blur while the pair sink into a violent absurdist abyss.
The Coward is a play written by composer and sound designer Anju Singh. For her debut playwrighting work, she brings influences from her sound and noise practice, passion for surrealist and experimental film as well as Melt movies, absurdist plays and existential philosophical questions. The play explores characters who cosplay as socially acceptable humans in a world demanding normalcy and compliance, despite the violence this may cause to their own existence.

birdcage
Produced by Alex Mah
Presented by Pi Theatre & EDAM
At EDAM (303 E 8th Ave), September 3-5
Encounters with ghosts. Diasporic memories. Dreams. Grandmothers.
birdcage is an introspective multi-media performance work that reflects on family, migration, and memory through written text (scores and poetry), lanterns, voice, soundscapes, and improvisation. These elements weave together images in a devised form of cross-disciplinary storytelling. The original work is composed and performed by Alex Mah and collaborator-violinist Ilana Waniuk, with an artistic team made up of first- or second-generation Canadians. birdcage explores the hope, longing, and confusion of Mah’s mixed-race, immigrant identity in search of itself by lantern light.
