What if your house did its own thing?
It's 2035, a decade after the collapse of Toronto's Trinity Bellwoods neighborhood. An investigation into the mysterious disappearance of a young girl leads to a strange house that has sunk underground. A flood with no leaks, an unsettling voice, and hordes of cicadas: these are just some of the strange phenomena seeping through Trim and Janie's floors. Could a strangely luminous painting be revealing secrets buried beneath their home?
This eco-thriller with live musical accompaniment imagines alternative realities for climate change. Presented as a world premiere, it offers a compelling and immersive narrative that highlights our connection to nature without assigning blame.
