SCAT will be presented at The 2017 Toronto Fringe Festival
About The Play
SCAT is a site-specific, multidisciplinary piece documenting the history of how bathrooms have been used and misused. Beginning in ancient Roman bathhouses, the piece weaves its way through history: the privatization of bathrooms the Victorian era, the rise of drug culture in bathrooms, police entrapment of gay men in bathrooms in the 1960 and 70s, and ending with the current issue of trans identified people’s experiences in bathrooms. SCAT hopes to raise questions to the audience about the social norms and conditioning we have all experienced around bathrooms, bathroom etiquette, the gendering of bathrooms and the safety of bathrooms.
