Being developed in collaboration with Ugandan company Dynamo Theatre, Cake humanizes the dynamic between Niger and Iran. A scathing allegory that examines Niger’s complicit dealings in uranium, international aide and Iranian interests, Cake presents a critical assessment of the oppression imposed by conditional assistance. This play is being developed with support from Cahoots Theatre Projects, Summerworks Festival, MT Space and Obsidian Theatre with funding from the Ontario Arts Council.
