About this Event
WHEN: 2PM, Sat, Apr 4
WHERE: Studio A, BMO Theatre Centre
Presented by Promethean Theatre as part of Fates Fest 2026, join us for this staged reading followed by a discussion and snacks!
Claude Cahun and Marcel Moore shared an astonishing life grounded in love, nourished by art, and motivated by justice. Using a play-within-a-play structure and epic storytelling, Heartlines takes the audience through the dizzying romance of their early life together in the Parisian avant-garde – and the subsequent fracturing of that life with the rise of nazism.
Playwright: Sarah Waisvisz
Director: Samantha Levy (she/her)
Suzanne: Emma Soothill
Claude: Santana Berryman
Bandleader: Liam Wilkins
Fates Fest is theatre festival/celebration dedicated to the advancement of femme and non-binary voices in key creative roles. This year Fates Fest (created and produced by Promethean Theatre) is excited to bring three staged readings, 2 co-presentations, all at the Olympic Village Stage and BMO Theatre Centre. During the daytime, join us for free workshops, panels, staged readings, item swaps, and events for the community to engage, learn, and come together while celebrating the strength and joy of femme, gender-non conforming, and non-binary voices!
