Human Cargo is a Toronto-based theatre company mandated to the creation, production and touring of new theatrical works. Founded in 2007 by artistic director Christopher Morris, Human Cargo creates innovative, theatrical experiences that provide audiences with a safe environment to engage in a thorough and provocative discussion of ideas. We collaborate with theatre artists and companies in Canada, and around the world, to create our work. We develop our plays over long periods, in the countries and communities the play is set in, and present these productions in Canada and the places they were developed. To date, Human Cargo has worked in Nunavut, Iceland, Greenland, Israel, Palestinian Territories, Republic of Georgia, CFB Petawawa, Pakistan, Afghanistan, China and Central African Republic, and presented theatre in English, Inuktitut, Icelandic and Dari. Committed to removing the geographic/financial/cultural barriers between potential audiences and our work, we implement a touring/presentation model that reaches out to a new generation of viewing public. We believe this is the only way to engage 21st Century audiences in Toronto, Canada and the World. Projects currently in development are The China Project (a collaboration with the Beijing play- wright Zhuang Yi), Le Jardin D’os (a collaboration with Doctors Without Borders/Toronto) and Annie Pootoogook: Portrait of an Artist (a collaboration with Inuk theatre artists Tiffany Ayalik and Miali Buscemi).
