Robert Cohen Theatre

at the very bottom of a body of water

Through surreal storytelling and dreamlike sequences, the piece delves into themes of grief, spiritual disconnection and the enduring ties of family. At its heart is a striking moment, a fish gutted live onstage, serving as a visceral metaphor for inner reckoning and the persistence of memory. Engage in an intimate, atmospheric and subtle emotional exploration.

This dark comedy, set in a modest Vancouver hotel, is about Chilean refugees who struggle with the various tragicomic effects of fleeing their homeland. Laid bare in the fictionalized autobiographical details of the play are universal truths that victims and survivors of political oppression continue to experience everywhere – and about love’s power to heal.
