The Body of Body 13

I recently saw a production by MT Space, a theatre company devoted to developing inter-cultural forms and practices in performance & to producing and presenting theatre that reflects our diversity. They are based in Kitchener, Ontario and travel to Toronto occasionally to show the big city what's going on. The production was called Body 13 and was performed at the Passe Muraille. 

The piece was created through devised theatre and explored the theme of human sexuality. The story was interesting to follow intertwining three couples' relationships. The stories were enhanced by the physical theatre aspect they incorporated. The movement base of the performance was well structured and wonderful to witness because it gave a different angle views to the stories being told by the individual characters. 

The piece's technical and design side was impeccable and really drew me in to the story because it add such a clear tone and texture to the story. It really helped the piece of theatre come to life and support the journey the story was taking.

The run has unfortunately ended, but if you are ever in the Kitchener area and want to check them out here's their website http://www.mtspace.ca and their twitter https://twitter.com/theMTspace
