Dressed as People – a Triptych of Uncanny Abduction

Produced by: Punk Reek Productions

Created by: Kelly Robson, Amal El-Mohtar, A.M. Dellamonica, & Margo MacDonald

Show Description: 

A school haunted by troubled children, a mysterious disappearance in a forest, an encounter with the unknown on open waters. Three characters, three time periods, three tales of abduction and the intrusion of the uncanny into the lives of those who are taken, those who do the taking, and those who are left behind. Multi-award-winning theatre creators and three internationally renowned, queer, Canadian speculative fiction writers team up for this chilling new work. From the producers of The Elephant Girls.

Masking policy: 

Mask wearing is encouraged at the 2024 Ottawa Fringe Festival. Wearing a mask supports our patrons, artists, volunteers and staff to avoid illness and protect our vulnerable communities. Though mask wearing will not be enforced by Ottawa Fringe during the festival, some artists have opted to make masking mandatory during their performances. We fully support these artists in their decision. If you have forgotten a mask and would like one, please visit any of our box offices and we will happily supply one for you. To see a listing of mask-required performances, please head to ottawafringe.com/access. 

Please note that it is becoming increasingly difficult to enforce mask wearing while patrons are seated in a performance. While we will do our best to support mask wearing in our festival and during required performances, we appreciate your patience and understanding in this matter.
