3Tempests

This show ran September 7th-12th, 2021 in Little Avenue Memorial Park.

When the pandemic hit, SIA began running a program with local seniors at York West Active Living Centre, exploring the relationship between Shakespeare’s plays and their personal stories. Inspired by those stories, 3Tempests is an original adaptation of Shakespeare’s The Tempest that weaves in real stories of Hurricane Hazel with those of local seniors who have experienced increased isolation with the COVID-19 pandemic. This free show that explored isolation, resilience, and the power of human connection.
