Paolozzapedia an autofictional biography
Theatre Passe Muraille 2019 Season
February 16-March 3rd, 2019
Bad New Days, with the support of Theatre Passe Muraille, returns with another provocative genre bending piece, their newest full-scale production since 2017’s Dora award winning Flashing Lights.
In Paolozzapedia Adam Paolozza and company blend Bad New Days’ signature potent theatricality, fusing together family stories from Italy with scraps of memory from Adam’s youth in Oshawa, in a carnival of surreal images haunted by the specter of death.
Paolozzapedia is an auto-fictional-biography, investigating how memory, like storytelling, is itself a creative act, shaping who we are and illuminating the pursuit of meaning in our lives. Adam Paolozza wears a Sartori mask.
