WHAT'S THE NEW LINE? Lawrence Weschler in Toronto
Thurs Dec 3 at Cinecyle (behind 129 Spadina)
The great American writer, Lawrence Weschler (who was on the staff of The New Yorker for 20 years and is considered by many one of the best narrative non-fiction writers working) is being brought to town by Sheila Heti and Margaux Williamson's production company, THE PRODUCTION FRONT, for an evening in which we, along with some great local artists and journalists, will try and figure out a better way of thinking about art in our time than along the increasingly confusing spectrum (or line) of fiction/non-fiction. In other words: We need a new line! This event will be incredibly athletic, like all good game shows.
MOST of the tickets will be available for advance purchase from Soundscapes for $10, starting the morning of November 20th. There will also be some tickets available at the door, on sale one hour before the show.
WITH: Douglas Bell, Shary Boyle, Ulysses Castellanos, Lynn Crosbie, Jon Davies, Kelly Jenkins, Amy Lam, Jon McCurley, Darren O'Donnell, Christine Pountney, Nadja Sayej, Hosted by Misha Glouberman.
