Premiere: February 6 - 9, 2008
Enwave Theatre, Toronto, presented by Harbourfront Centre's World Stage Series. A collaboration with Amrita Performing Arts, Phnom Penh.

The work explores the physical traces of the transmission of the invisible, whether it be unseen messages from nature that enter the soul, or the passing on of the spirit of a people through the teaching of its cultural forms.

Nominated for a Dora Mavor Moore Award for Original Sound Composition.

The piece, inspired in part by Buddhist temple architecture and South East Asian theatre, conjures a world populated by wrathful demons and benign deities. Integrating dramatic full-body dance movement and precise facial choreography with vocalization techniques from many eastern cultures, stupa explores the notion of sacred space in both the physical and metaphysical realms as well as the sanctity of the human body and spirit.
