Tottering Biped Theatre is proud to announce a season of powerful theatre drawn from the incredible talent of Hamilton and surrounding area. Our aim is to provide a new platform for the incredible work emerging from Hamilton’s Indy Theatre scene while bringing in quality professional work that would not be seen in Hamilton. This year’s programming will be hosted in the Robinson Memorial Theatre at McMaster University.

The last performance we bring is a colossus of Canadian Theatre – MT Space’s THE LAST 15 SECONDS. This play has achieved incredible things for theatre in Canada – multiple National and International tours with top honours at Festivals around the world. This is a rare chance to see the late Lebanese director Majdi Bou-Matar’s flagship production before it ends its magnificent 12 years of performances.

SYNOPSIS: This project explores terrorism starting with the tragic death of Syrian-American filmmaker Mustapha Akkad and his daughter Rima during a series of co-ordinated attacks in the Jordanian capital Amman in 2005. The work constructs an imagined physical and verbal dialogue between Mustapha Akkad and Rawad Abed, the suicide bomber who carried out the explosion that killed Akkad. The work looks at the imagined lives and memories of both the victim and his killer at the time of the explosion. “You must see ‘The Last 15 Seconds’…a pulsating, unforgettable piece of theatre” -Robert Crew, The Toronto Star
