Run to the #theatre tonight to catch My Arm & Mies Julie at @HarbourfrontTO! You can meet cast + crew at last social of season too! #theato

Company discusses dynamic movement throughout. Watched #pinabausch to start but over time working together learnt each other's body so well

There are only 3 more chances to catch this firey + complex work #Toronto. Do not miss this show! #theato

Company ends by thanking #Toronto audiences for welcoming them back. They love playing in this house (despite the rain) + thankful #theato

From South African audience member: "I don't think any trip back home could have brought it, all the shame+peace, back to me in such a way"

"Mama" has 5 passports, yet her parents never came oversees. When her parents passed she believes they opened door for her+they travel w/her

Mama first acknowledges elders in the audience and speaks about the importance of ancestors to show you the path + speak to you in dreams

Question on the theme of ancestry in the piece: "Mama" answers in her language + Bongile translates for the audience #theato

"We worked very hard, and we wept very hard" ... the company agrees on the thorough work of Yael Farber & her commitment to getting it right

On relationship btwn John + Julie: Days were spent becoming intimate with one another. We spent days smelling + touching each other

Often people are as broken up as Julie + John in that final scene... it's a tough one. Difficult for us to perform. The impact stared w/us

Q: Did this work originate in South Africa? What was reaction there? A: Yes + most controversial work on the boards there in 5 yrs...

More than worth the wait, the company introduces themselves to the audience.This group have played this work for 5yrs in 17 countries#theato
