Iva Delic’s first work for the theatre premiered September 3rd at the Segal Centre in Montréal. The play follows
a group of young artists have dreams of making it big. When one of them eventually finds success, the others are left to contemplate their own ambitions, talent, and the envy gnawing at their friendship–until this group member invites them all to her luxurious home to celebrate their bond. For one night only, the group is back together. But celebrations come to an abrupt end when the host suffers a horrific accident. Through crisis, an almost unthinkable plan starts to take shape: could her suffering be their next work of art? Pool (No Water) is a visceral and shocking play about the ways in which our ambition, creative identity and humanity intertwine and conflict. The play begs the questions, what does it mean to make art? What are we willing to sacrifice in the name of success?
Directed by incoming co-artistic directors Leila Ghaemi and Rebecca Gibian, and showcasing local emerging talent like Jeremy Segal, Chris Wardell, and Maryanna Chan.
