Hot Kitchen/SECOND SHIFT

Hot Kitchen/SECOND SHIFT by Raw Matter explores the dirty depths of domesticity within the nucleus of society, the home. What are the elements that churn the great engines of our economies forward? That spin this cycle? Come watch the dirty laundry pile up as the ugly world of exhibitionism, escapism and reconstruction unfolds. Inspired by the writings of Sylvia Federici, Jean Genet and Sylvia Plath, Hot Kitchen/SECOND SHIFT runs September 23-October 1st at Kensington Hall, 56 Kensington Ave. Toronto. Wake, wet, rinse, repeat. wake, wet, rinse, repeat. wake, wet, rinse, repeat. wake, wet, rinse, repeat. wake, wet, rinse, repeat.

Raw Matter is a hive mind of artists. The present formation is dedicated to creating visually enticing theatre rooted in current social issues. Formed in 2014, Raw Matter first tackled the controversy surrounding the new Ontario Sex Ed curriculum. This year, the project deconstructs reproductive labour in our capitalistic world.

Hot Kitchen/SECOND SHIFT is written, directed, designed and performed by Veronika Brylinska, Nicole De Angelis, Alanna Dunlop and Rebecca Hooton, who are all members of Raw Matter. The cast for this world premiere production also includes associate artist Daniela Pagliarello.
