Threshold

Date September 18, 2026
Venue Factory Theatre, Toronto
Duration 70 minutes, no intermission

Threshold is a new work for three performers, built from the question of what the body carries across borders — physical, emotional, linguistic. The piece unfolds in near-silence, interrupted by bursts of language that never quite resolve into meaning.

The work draws on the personal histories of the performers alongside text derived from immigration documents, letters, and testimonies. It is quiet in the way that only devastation can be quiet.

"We were interested in the idea of the threshold not as a line you cross but as a place you live in. The work is for everyone who has been caught in that in-between." — Jaber Ramezani
