Letters from a Space Girl in Love

If Only a Dream Productions—The Asper Centre for Theatre & Film (U of W)

This show spoke to me like nothing I have EVER seen so far in all my years at this festival. A spoken word show of beautiful prose, Chantal shared a story that resonated with me to a dizzying extent. I was captivated by every single word she spoke. She has somehow found the words to say everything I couldn’t during a period of my life that makes me feel like this show was written FOR me. It felt as though she pulled every syllable from the depths of my soul and I am shaken. To say I loved it is a wild understatement, because this show was EVERYTHING. I wept. This is the kind of show that makes me deeply grateful for the ability theatre has to help us heal and process experiences in our lives that have had an irrevocable impact on who we become. It was beautiful, sincere and I have never felt so deeply and profoundly seen in my entire life. Chantal, thank you.
