Intercourse Dalmation
The unique Intercourse Dalmation story tackled the wellness business, the heartbreak business, and the within of our brains by a story of twisted love. It premiered in February 2023 in Peterborough, with subsequent performances in Toronto, Calgary, and St. John’s, Newfoundland. The manufacturing received the Dora Awards for Excellent Efficiency by an Ensemble, Excellent Unique Choreography, and Excellent Manufacturing in 2023.
This 12 months’s model is a very new present, a form of spin-off prequel of the unique story that depicted the torturous love between Intercourse Dalmation, a lady canine who’s… difficult, and a skinless rat by the title of Mr. Mary Michael Meeks.
Within the new story, the Mayor of Intercourse Dalmatian’s Mind offers her an opportunity to revisit the previous, exhibiting her the origins of her tangled affair with Mr. Meeks, who can also be her arch-nemesis.
Because it seems, Intercourse Dalmation was set to dwell a traditional way of life with Human Boy — up till Mr. Meeks got here into the image, and put a monkey wrench into her plans. Chaos ensues. It’s a vacation fever dream nightmare as Intercourse Dalmation, Human Boy, and Mr. Meeks, together with a parade of quirky characters, dive into the origin story.
It’s glam, it’s naughty, it’s audacious — and greater than just a little loopy. You may try the trailer here.
