Solo dance-theatre (stand-up comedy with dance breaks) by veteran dance artist Tara Cheyenne Friedenberg.

Can one reimagine gender from inside a middle-aged body while standing at the playground caught in the no "man's" land between the "moms" and the "dads"? Pants takes a deep dive into the shallow end of the gender binary through raw comedy and dance that crawls inside our "packaging". What happens to one's flimsy identity, built on blending, when one's offspring sheds the binary before recess? Profoundly personal storytelling is delivered through alarming comedy and movement that reveals the heart of the matter.

We’re Grateful to Be Here.

The Firehall Arts Centre is located on the unceded and traditional territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) First Nations where they lived and gathered together for thousands of years. Acknowledging their connections to these lands is a significant part of what the Firehall considers when choosing the productions and presentations we undertake and how that work shapes and impacts those around us. We ask our community to reflect on what being present here means to you and those around you.
