Cocodrilo Triste is a Chilean-based independent theatre company helmed by Chilean-Canadian playwright Bruce Gibbons Fell. The collective’s goals are to present new queer interpretations of history, infused with pop culture and a Latin American lens, and to create and foster collaborative creation processes with artists exploring similar themes and influences in the Americas.
Soulpepper is Canada's leading artist-driven theatre company and is based in Tkatonro/Toronto. We'll let them introduce themselves in their own words:
'We believe that stories can connect us, that they are vital to our understanding, compassion and knowledge, and that they can motivate us toward social change.'
Sunny's inventive and award-winning theatre works have been presented in over 60 cities across the world and translated into 4 languages. His wide range of audiences have spanned international arts festivals goers, queers in underground warehouses, seniors in regional theatres and young people in drop-in centres.
