MADGEN: Theatre of the Beat&#39;s Emerging Producers Festival is a theatre festival designed to highlight and support emerging producers, with hands on experience that accumulates with the production of three fantastic shows! From Stardust by Annie Valentina, produced by Reena Goze <span fr-original-style='color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; display: inline !important; float: none;' id="isPasted" style='color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; float: none; display: inline !important; box-sizing: inherit;'>Being the introverted loner in a family of &ldquo;strong personalities&rdquo; is challenging at the best of times &ndash; and these are far from the best of times. Given how the last few months have gone for Cass, maybe actually the worst. But between a self-involved girlboss sister, an emotionally distant mother, and now Cass&rsquo; grandmother&rsquo;s progressing dementia, it doesn&rsquo;t exactly feel like falling apart is an option. Things could always be worse, right? As long as you have a secret David Bowie in your back pocket, are you really out of coping strategies?

Pushing the archetypal phrase &lsquo;starving artists&rsquo; to the extreme, Horses explores the ugly underbelly of what it means to suffer for your art. Fitz-James and Otto use dance as an allegory for labour in a Hunger Games-meets-Footloose competition that draws attention to the emotional and physical demands of late stage capitalism. &lsquo;The Marathon&rsquo; is a survival of the fittest/last person standing contest that requires teams of two to compete. The winner takes home a cash prize, and what cannot be paid in cash will be paid in exposure. Dances may go on for months at a time, with the contestants resting for 10 minutes at a time every 2 hours. For some this is all they have left, for others it&rsquo;s the only skill they have, but they are all poor, and they are all desperate for a win. MADGEN runs from August 21st to the 23rd, with two shows each evening, at 2174 Danforth Avenue. The building is fully accessible, and we are excited to welcome you into the space!&nbsp; The show schedule is:Thursday August 21stFrom Stardust @ 6PM &amp; The Apartment @ 8PM Friday August 22ndHorses @ 6PM &amp; From Stardust @ 8PM Saturday August 23rdThe Apartment @ 6PM &amp; Horses @ 8PM Each performance is roughly an hour long, with a 20 minute talkback after each 6PM slot.
