Eunoia, the dance-theatre production is an adaptation of Christian Bök’s award-winning book of the same name. The book consists of conceptual poetry written in the form of a lipogram where each of its five chapters is constrained to the use of one vowel. It is a timeless work, winning the 2002 Griffin Poetry Prize, and a bestselling book in Canada and the UK. The performance was nominated for 3 Dora Awards, sold-out 2 runs at Harbourfront Centre’s World Stage series, and has toured across Canada to Vancouver, Calgary, White Horse, Guelph, Markham, Kitchener, Halifax and St John’s so far.
