Canadian Psycho

In this hilarious and provocative one-woman show, true-crime-obsessed Marlene’s infatuation with serial killers sends her on a collision course with her own identity. In her own words, “Canadian Psycho is a play about representation in media, in storytelling and in technology. Mostly, it’s about a half-Asian woman who’s frustrated about the lack of inclusion in the serial killer space, and is finally ready to do something about it. The show explores themes of glorified violence, toxic masculinity, white-centred storytelling, bias in technology, and our cultural obsession with true crime.” With original electronic music, movement and video, Canadian Psycho seeks to be the ultimate destruction of the model minority myth.
