Photo Flash: Theatre Ad Infinitum Canada's THE BIG SMOKE

Theatre Ad Infinitum's Amy Nostbakken who, in association with Why Not Theatre, brings the Canadian premiere of The Big Smoke to Factory Studio Theatre (preview February 21, opening February 22-March 4).

The UK's Theatre Ad Infinitum expands its innovative and international theatre-making with the launch of Theatre Ad Infinitum Canada and the Canadian premiere of The Big Smoke, a one-woman a cappella performance by Theatre Ad Infinitum Artistic Director Amy Nostbakken, co-written by Nostbakken and director Nir Paldi and presented in association with Why Not Theatre.

About the show: "In a courageous physical performance with a completely original text and score sung a cappella, Amy Nostbakken's nuanced voice tells the story of a brilliant young artist from Toronto who begins to spiral down into the depths of depression just as she begins to rise to the heights of her potential. The Big Smoke is a stunning experience that walks the fine line between sanity and psychosis."
