Toronto – We Heart Heartbeats, in coordination with The Toronto Fringe Festival, is pleased to bring the world premiere of Salvador to the Toronto stage. The play runs from July 3-July 13, 2014 at The Annex Theatre. Though 150 plays are to be released at this year’s Fringe Festival only Salvador speaks directly to notions of human rights at a time when World Pride is being celebrated globally.
Salvador marks the sharp and topical directorial debut of Sam Graham and features Fringe Festival and Queer Arts Festival playwright Rafael Antonio Renderos. The cast also features seasoned professional Jamie Johnson (star of Shakespeare Bash’d’s Much Ado About Nothing).
Salvador stems from two trips playwright Rafael Antonio Renderos took in late 2013 and early 2014. A family trip began to unearth questions of what life (as a gay man) might have been like growing up in El Salvador after the civil war. Salvador unveils the history of human rights violations through the juxtapositions of life in western world and in Central America. Renderos’ script cleverly uses these two binaries as the pillars of his story and blends them together seamlessly.
Salvador runs at The Annex Theatre from July 3-13, 2014. Tickets are $10 regularly and $12 advance and go on sale June 12, 2014. To purchase tickets please visit the Fringe Festival website http://bit.ly/1hssJJy. To learn more about this production of Salvador: http://on.fb.me/1q92O9J
