Apsara Theatre Company's SOMEONE BETWEEN Set for Summerworks This August

Fresh off its run at the Hamilton Fringe Festival, Apsara Theatre Company in association with Dreamwalker Dance Company will present Someone Between at the Summerworks Performance Festival.

Written and performed by Chantria Tram, this solo show is a complex and humorous personal investigation into cultural identity and belonging, exploring the culture she inherited and the culture she lives in.

Triggered by a terrible event, Chantria hangs in the balance between traditional and modern values, family and individuality, past and future as she seeks her Khmer (Cambodian) roots and a deeper understanding of her family's journey to Canada. Infused with Western pop culture, Khmer (Cambodian) music and movement-driven storytelling, the play looks at what it means to be 'someone between'.

Originally produced at Montreal's Le Monument Nationale, the show has toured around Montreal to various conferences and festivals, including the Centaur Theatre's Wildside Festival. It was presented as a workshopped staged reading last year at the Tiger Bamboo Theatre Festival, hosted by Soulpepper Theatre Company. Now with an exciting team of seasoned and emerging artists, Someone Between is ready for its Toronto premiere.

Someone Between is written and performed by Chantria Tram, dramaturged and directed by Paula Wing, movement direction by Andrea Nann, set and costume design by Alexandra Lord, lighting design by Michelle Tracey, sound location and editing by Garnet Willis, and stage managed by Cristina Hernandez.
