Two dance artists lie on their stomachs facing each other on a dark dance floor. There is a warm light shining on them and one has their had down with eyes closed as if sleeping and the other is looking and reaching towards the first. A dance artist crouches on the floor of a stage looking up at a floor lamp. They have brown curly hair and are wearing a brown jumpsuit and a white linen shirt over top. A dance artist mid twirl on a dark stage. At the back left of the image another artist stands at a mic stand wearing a pink and white dress. A dance artist leans over a blue couch. The image is dark except for one bright spotlight which is shining just next to the dancer lighting their face slightly.

The Falling Company

Family Room

Family Room is a poignant dance theatre piece choreographed by Marissa Wong which explores immigrant life and cultural identity – and the complexities of her Chinese-Canadian upbringing and navigating her parents’ divorce. The innovative set design transforms the stage into a living room, each piece of furniture symbolizing familial connection and a foundation for interactions told through movement and text. Performed by three versatile dancers, Family Room is a deeply personal and intimate work, which touches on universal themes including frustration, belonging, and love.

Each show will be followed by a discussion facilitated by a counsellor, providing a supportive environment for audience members to share their reflections.
