Week 53 - Teentalitarianism - Dare Night

Conceived by Darren O'Donnell
Directed by Jana Eiting, Annalise Prodor, Feroz Syed, Kathy Vuu
Produced by Eva Verity, Tina Fance
Featuring young performers from local schools.

Teentalitarianism is a series of 'social-specific' performances that invites an adult audience to enter a very different world, a world where the tables are turned, and the teens are in charge. Mammalian Diving Reflex will work with a group of local teenagers to create a series of performances, events and interventions that will take over an area of Salford, creating a teen-infused environment where the youth rule the roost.

More information on the specific events below. We are delighted to announce that there will be an allocation of free tickets for Under 19s for all performances.

This presentation of Teentalitarianism has been made possible in part thanks to grants from the Canada Council for the Arts and the Ontario Arts Council.

Dare Night:

Conjured up by Nerupa Somasale, Mammalian Diving Reflex and teens from Salford, Dare Night will challenge you to commit the unthinkable: breach the unspoken laws of public etiquette and execute a series of hilarious, exhilarating and shocking dares. ‘Dare Night’ transforms the foreign to the familiar by exploring the power of risk and trust. It encourages all of us to open up to each other, even if it’s only for one night. Be brave! Be fearless! And be there! We dare you.

There will be a limited allocation of Pay What You Decide tickets for all productions, more details to be announced in Spring 2018.
