BRIDGE OF ONE HAIR

New World Stage at Harbourfront from April 26-29

Bridge of One Hair (Jumblies Theatre www.jumbliestheatre .org )
Jumblies Theatre is the catalyst for this phenomenal three-year project with mulitiple communities in Central Etobicoke. An original musical score by renowned composer Alice Ping Yee Ho weaves together a performance that draws on Somali, Celtic, Carribbean and First Nations histories, tales and traditions; tea ritual and poetic text by Hawa Jibril and Duke Redbird.

Bridge of One Hair reaches back through time and around the world to convey the story of a neighbourhood, with a cast combining community members and performers of all ages, including VIVA Youth Singers, Jubilate Singers, Faduma Nkruma and many others. In addition to the performance, the presentation includes an interactive tea room. Project partners include Toronto Community Housing and Montgomery's Inn.
