The Eternal Ego Festival showcases reimagined multi-character plays, in which every role is performed by a single actor, and in two cases, by two actors, using in-person, virtual or hybrid platforms.
Premiering gradually over the next two seasons alongside TIFT's regular programming, The Eternal Ego Festival includes a live, musically-infused cabaret-style retelling of a Greek Satyr play, a virtual reality hybrid interpretation of a Virginia Woolf novel, a live-streamed take on a modernist classic with elements of puppetry, and many more.

What’s a Rich Text element?
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
Static and dynamic content editing
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
How to customize formatting for each rich text
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.

Synopsis: Canonized posthumously, the individual loses self-identity becoming a heroic symbol for the very politic that extinguished her life. Using binaural recording, perspective projection, 360º video capture and other emergent technologies in a monolithic environment, Saint Joan explores movement against scale. A solo performer struggles to command a battlefield of space and word. In the remains of a burnt cathedral, six intersectional ‘Joans’ will stand alone in defiance.
Written by George Bernard Shaw, J Pagnan will guide the physical and visual exploration of ruin with a company of six solo performers and a team of Canada’s most exciting interdisciplinary creators.
