Clay & Paper Theatre presents

HELL ON WHEELS

As part of the 10th Annual Night of Dread

Saturday October 24, 2009

Clay & Paper Theatre’s annual Night of Dread is an invitation
to the community to parade our private and collective fears through the
darkened streets of Toronto. The hour-long procession returns to Dufferin Grove Park for
an evening of ceremonial festivities that compel us to call on, mock
and banish the fears that unite and divide us in these times. Night of Dread
is an unforgettable evening of pageantry, music and masquerade
incorporating towering puppets, stilt dancers, fire-spinners and
fearful masks in a daring exploration of dread.

Following the success of Clay & Paper’s summer projects Cyclops: Cycling Oriented Puppet Squad and Puppets Without Barriers (providing accessible theatre), we are devoting a section of this year’s parade to those on wheels: bicycles, wheelchairs, unicycles and skateboards.  Deck yourself out at home or visit the Hell on Wheels decorating station at Dufferin Grove Park; arrive early to adorn your wheels or yourself, and roll through the parade in style!

4 PM: Parade begins assembling at Dufferin Grove Park (Dufferin south of Bloor).

Hell on Wheels decorating starts!

6 PM: Parade departs

Dress Code: Black & White

Pay-What-You-Can: suggested donation $10

Info: (416) 316-4461

Night of Dread
is preceded by three weeks of open community workshops at Dufferin
Grove Park, welcoming anyone who is interested in helping us build
imagery.
