About This Project

Haunting images, empowering narrative and breathtaking movement by an electrifying ensemble lay bare the plight and resistance of women in refugee camps. Nominated for five Dora Awards including Outstanding Original Production, and with a sold-out run in Toronto, No Woman’s Land is a dance theatre work based on real stories that beautifully reveal the depths of human resilience in the face of adversity.  

No Woman’s Land was conceived and directed by Roshanak Jaberi, and developed in partnership with IRIS-Institute for Research and Development on Inclusion and Society. The project and was supported by the outreach and community-based research of Dr. Doris Rajan (IRIS) and academic research of Dr. Shahrzad Mojab (University of Toronto).

TOURING IN 2022 – *CANCELLED*

After much thought and careful consideration for the health and safety of our communities, we have decided to cancel our upcoming No Woman’s Land Tour. While it is with great disappointment that we are making this announcement, we remain committed to prioritizing our artists, audiences, and collaborators during this difficult time. We look forward to bringing No Woman’s Land back to the stage in the near future, when we can safely convene to enjoy live performances. We would like to thank our funders and presenters for their continued support.
