January 27, 2015, TORONTO - Progress is pleased to announce Canadian playwright Daniel MacIvor will join Enrique Diaz for a talk back following the February 13 performance of Cine Monstro, the Portuguese adaptation of MacIvor’s celebrated play, Monster.
Cine Monstro is a visually stunning one man tour-de-force that moves dynamically through a series of storylines that link multiple characters to one unsettling event. The Brazilian adaptation, Cine Monstro, has its North American premiere at Progress on February 12, 2015.
Cine Monstro (Brazil)
Presented and Curated by Why Not Theatre
Performed in Portuguese with English subtitles
Directed and performed by: Enrique Diaz
Written by: Daniel MacIvor
Translation: Barbara Duvivier and Enrique Diaz
February 12-14, 2015
Running time: 85 mins
Brazilian actor and director Enrique Diaz performs in a critically acclaimed adaptation of Daniel MacIvor’s Monster. Presenting this classic Canadian play in Portuguese introduces it to a new community in Toronto.
Diaz transforms himself into a series of MacIvor’s characters, from a young boy who tells the story of the neighbour who hacked up his father in the basement, to quarrelling lovers, to a filmmaker who never completed his epic film. The characters are separate yet eerily related.
Cine Monstro is presented by Why Not Theatre in association with Progress. It is made possible through the generous support of the Department of Canadian Heritage.
