A critically acclaimed piece of physical, imagistic theatre exploring the levity of tragedy and the notion of why we make art, why it is important, and why now.
Bad New Days brings Italian Mime Suicide to The Theatre Centre after a critically acclaimed, smash-hit run in Montreal, earning a “Top Ten Shows of 2021” by the Montreal Gazette.
Italian Mime Suicide is loosely based on the true story of an Italian mime who, in 2003, committed suicide claiming no one appreciated his art. With an imagistic aesthetic reminiscent of the kitsch iconography of clowns, mimes and world-weary circus acrobats, Italian Mime Suicide sensitively explores the levity within tragedy, creating a funny, poetic meditation on melancholy, the acceptance of failure and the usefulness of art in troubled times.
Italian Mime Suicide marks Bad New Days’ return to Toronto stages to ask why do we make art, why is it important, and why now?
