Co-presented by One Yellow Rabbit and Swallow-a-Bicycle Theatre, Tender Container’s x-rated narrative tracks Katie Sly’s existence in three cities—from their violent childhood in Montreal, their late 20s in the Toronto rope bondage community, and their early 30s living on the edge of Vancouver’s Downtown East Side. Unsparing in its details, the show uses Mx. Sly’s history to ask uncomfortable questions of its audience through, at times, ethically-questionable means. How To Self-Suspend runs January 10 to 12, 2019 at The Studio at The GRAND (608 1st St. SW) and is part of the High Performance Rodeo.
