Kaylie Kreatrix

Packed with vivid imagination, whimsy, and impressive circus acts, Kitsune takes audiences through the different layers of Japanese folklore in a delightful performance that’s sure to leave a smile on your face.

Brian Carroll: In Kimiko, Kreatrix draws on a number of sources, including the WWII internment of Japanese Canadians, their forced diaspora from British Columbia across the rest of Canada, the Shinto performance arts of Edo Daikagura, the art of kimono and obi dressing, and the paper cranes of the young dying girl Sadako Sasaki of Hiroshima.

This week is Week 2 of Fresh Meat! Starting with plays on Thursday, October 20, the festival ends this Saturday, October 22, with a late-night closing party from 10pm to 2am at Arts Court.
