KNOTS to Play 2016 Toronto Fringe Festival

Knots is a theatrical collage of movement, music, and text, which asks: what is a knot? How do knots manifest in our politics, our culture, and our lives? Jake and Lucy wrestle with this puzzle and realize that some tangles can't be untied.

Knots are everywhere. We use them to tie our shoes; we use them to hoist our sails. They tie up our everyday lives, and we can't live without them. This show asks: what are the knots we can't see? We discover the knots in relationships and in individuals, and that knots that can be humorous, surprising, and merciless. It is only when we recognize the intangible knots in our personal lives that we can begin to untie them, a task that may take us weeks, years-perhaps our entire lives.

Vocative Theatre was created by Lucy Meanwell and Jake Runeckles because the Toronto Fringe told them they had to have a company name in order to participate. These youngsters are new to the Fringe circuit, and every bit as hungry to produce their first show. One might think, "a green duo performing at the Factory Mainspace? They must be crazy!" They are.
