The TAXI Project is a play about freedom of expression, home and exile. It is an initiative of PEN Canada and the Art for Real Change Collective. The TAXI Project is an original play that explores issues of freedom of expression and the complex realities of living in exile.

Written by four members of PEN Canada's Writers in Exile Program (Emma Beltran, Martha Kuwee Kumsa, Sheng Xue, and Goran Simic) the play follows four characters forced to leave their home countries and the struggle to create a new life in Canada.

Following the play will be a reading and discussion by members of the Writers in Exile Program.

Daytime performances will be accompanied by an interactive workshop and will be attended predominantly by youth.

PERFORMANCE DATE: July 28th - August 9th
