HELICAL - Tethered the Ghost

“What is an unusual space? That definition changes with who you ask. Helical is Isa’s story, alone for filming an artistic project that leads to an introspective confrontation with herself. She is suddenly faced with questions she’s been avoiding: are you happy with the reflection you see in the mirror? Are you satisfied with what you put out into the world? Are you willing to challenge the darker sides of yourself?
We recommend that you use a pair of headphones. We hope you enjoy our piece.”

We are Tethered the Ghost, a newborn theatre company in St. Catharines, Ontario founded by Kaylyn Valdez-Scott and Meryl Ochoa. Our mission is to address the complexities of the Filipinx-Canadian diaspora by putting on stage the narratives that we and our families live through. Kaylyn Valdez- Scott is a half Filipina, half Scottish artist from Toronto, Ontario, and Meryl Ochoa is an emerging Filipina artist who immigrated to Canada with her family in 2012. We are dedicated to creating original work to challenge the lack of representation of bodies that look like ours and the lack of diversity in Canadian stories on stage.
