Luminato Festival Toronto presents

I Am From Reykjavik


Friday, June 7 - Wednesday, June 12
Various Locations

Free

I Am From Reykjavik is more than a performance—it's an invitation to introspection. It challenges us to examine our relationships with space and time, to reconsider the boundaries between self and other, and to embrace the possibility of forging meaningful connections in unexpected places. Join Sonia Hughes on this transformative journey, where every structure built and dismantled is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit to build your sense of home anywhere and in anyone you can.
