“When you stand in front of me and look at me,
what do you know of the griefs that are in me
and what do I know of yours.”
Franz Kafka

The turbulence of our secret inner lives and the yearning to connect with others take centre stage in whisper, a new work conceived by Catalyst Theatre's Jonathan Christenson & Bretta Gerecke, together with long-time collaborator Laura Krewski. Created with the 2012 graduating class of B.F.A. actors and the Department of Drama's production staff, whisper reveals the powerful stories we carry within us that fundamentally define who we are yet remain silent and invisible to the outside world. It explores the perpetual cycle of concealing and revealing, that dynamic tension between what appears to be and what is – the desire to be seen, to be heard, to be known for who we are always at odds with the fear of being exposed, of being cast out, of being destroyed. whisper is an eloquent visual, aural and kinetic journey that will take you from laughter to pain, fear to elation, horror to euphoria, as eleven young artists dare to engage in the struggle to be true – in the moment, on stage, before an audience – to test the limits of authenticity within the artifice of theatre.
