High Performance Rodeo favourite David Gagnon Walker, has written a story for himself and a gathering of friends and strangers to read together out loud. It’s the imaginary story of an imaginary child in an imaginary land. A poetic fable about how to live with the slowly unfolding emergencies of our world, it’s also an invitation to join in on the artistic process, and a testament to the power of a roomful of people discovering a new story together.
Created by a team of award-winning artists from across Canada, “This Is the Story of the Child Ruled by Fear” invites you back to the theatre after the strangest year of our lives, asking you to help tell a story about worry and wonder, loneliness and community, beauty and fear. Presented as part of the 2022 High Performance Rodeo Spring Edition.
