Send Us Your Story!!!

Pulse Theatre would like to hear about your immigration story. We collect stories from our neighbours so that our shows can reflect the real life in Canada. Specifically- we would like to hear about as many immigration stories as there are, so that we can possibly make them a part of our future project - ImmigranTO. The show is planned as a postcard from immigrants' Toronto perspective. We hope that it will help shedding more light on the true nature of our town and country- the one built by immigrants and being driven by immigrants.

Pulse Theatre is also searching for immigrant theatre artists/performers as future collaborators. One of the company members' priorities is to provide work for immigrant artists living and working in Canada. We would like to base our plan for future projects on the information about available immigrant artists in Toronto. We are urging all theatre creators- directors, writers, stage managers, set, costume and lights designers, producers, as well as performers- actors, dancers and singers, to send us their headshots and resumes. Any ideas for projects, or if you have original works that you would like to further develop, are welcome as well. We would like to emphasize that performers who have an accent are welcome and encouraged to apply. Contact us!

“Night of the Assassins” was the company’s first project. It was written by Jose Triana, a Cuban writer, celebrated for plays that are talking about people influenced by the economic and political policies of Cuba. We chose "Night of the Assassins" because of its simplicity and depth. This play resonated with all of us because of the strong revolutionary note that is so dominant in the play’s structure.

Night of the Assassins is a play which is acutely relevant despite the fact that it was written in the 1960's. The reason for this is that the issue it deals with is, unfortunately, still quite present if not grown beyond imaginable proportions in the past four decades. This issue is child abuse. The play treats it through a series of revenge fantasies that three siblings entertain after having suffered a lifetime of abuse at the hands of their parents. Our intention was to take this fantasy a step further - to its gruesome completion - and to examine if the consequences would indeed bring the so desired freedom to its culprits.
