Koffler Arts presents World Play, an ongoing series, curated by Alon Nashman, celebrating Toronto’s extraordinary linguistic and cultural diversity – a city where over 200 languages are spoken.
Word Play invites audiences to experience a rich tapestry of voices through brief readings of poetry, theatre, fiction, philosophy, and song lyrics each read in their original language and accompanied by an English translation. Each evening will be dedicated to a theme around which all the readings will coalesce.
More than a literary showcase, World Play is an immersive journey into phonaesthetics – the beauty and resonance of language as sound.
