“Cosmotato” – an audio performance in the dark

Online / Remote

Опис події

Cosmotato is a charity audio performance in complete darkness, where sound, imagination, and emotions take center stage: viewers are placed in a dark space, blindfolded, and experience the story “inside themselves,” without visual effects.

When and where

  • Date: Saturday, March 7
  • Time (according to the announcement): starts at 5:30 p.m., doors open at 5:15 p.m.
  • Location: Commons Church, 2404 Kensington Rd NW, Calgary, AB (T2N 3S1)

What the performance is about

The plot centers on a boy named Yurko, who misses his father, who was taken away by the war. His world becomes a “cosmos” with a “black hole” in his heart. One day, a Cosmonaut appears in the closet, and a journey begins through memory, pain, and hope to the light that exists even in darkness.

Why you should come

  • Unusual form: no scenery or visual effects — just sound, voices, and your imagination.
  • Deep theme: a delicate conversation about loss, sadness, and healing, with room for your own interpretations.
  • Charity: the organizers note that all proceeds will be donated to charity.

Who it is suitable for

  • Teenagers and adults who love chamber theater and non-standard formats.
  • Recommended age: 10+ (it is important to consider whether your child is comfortable in complete darkness).

Practical information

  • Format: dark room, blindfolds, audio accompaniment; please arrive early to take your seats and get ready for silence.
  • If you may feel anxious in the dark, please inform the volunteers.
