Canada is commonly perceived as a nation of immigrants: people displaced and uprooted by events that are out of their control. They exist and work here while their hearts and minds are still there. This double life is not just an immigrant experience. You may live here in your parents' home but have a fantasy life there in the World of Warcraft. You may spend your daily grind here in the city while you live in the outskirts of town. You may suffer from illness here but imagine being healthy there. You may face yourself here in a mirror and under a microscope there. The premise of the show is the juxtaposition of your two places in the broadest sense of place.
Partcipating Artists: Alek Grguric, Alexis Mitchell & Sharlene Bamboat, Amin Rehman, Andre Laredo, Bryan Belanger, Carolina Murillo Morales, Caroline Ross, Dimitri Papatheodorou, Eileen MacArthur, Erika De Freitas, Frances Patella, Genevieve Thauvette, Haleh Jamali, Hoda Ghods, Ian Mackenzie, Jana Sasaki, Jeffrey Kum, Joseph Muscat, Julian Forrest, Kat Citroen, Lorenz Peter, Marcus Leatherdale, Miriam Rudolph, Nina Bunjevac, Pamela Burt, Pat Rice, Ross Winter, Sean Smith, Tamara Weller, Tyler Los-Jones, Wendell Chen
