A top Fringe Pick at three festivals and performed 85+ times across Ontario, the Maritimes, in Austria, Germany and the US, this must-see one-man interdisciplinary show & talkback has played in theatres, museums, places of worship, and community centres. Kirk Dunn knits by three huge projection screens and recounts his story as an actor, writer, knitter, and preachers kid.
Prompted by 9/11, he decided to knit three tapestries, designed as stained-glass windows, exploring the commonalities and conflicts of the Abrahamic faiths. The project took him fifteen years to complete. In a show thats all about knitting and not about knitting at all, Kirk looks at the rise of Islamophobia, anti-Semitism, and fear of the other, and shares his journey knitting the tapestries: artistic self-doubt, financial despair, and the value of a loving partner who is willing to be a butt-kicking muse.
Youll laugh, cry, and even do some knitting yourself while Kirk celebrates diversity and concludes that the three faiths have the same goal: peace. When he pulls down the screens revealing the one-of-a-kind work, youre invited to come close and engage in conversation that will leave you feeling connected, inspired and having participated in an evening unlike any other.
