Fifteen Dogs at Crow's Theatre

When: January 10 - February 5, 2023

Where: Crow's Theatre

What to expect: “You can’t know what a life has been until it is over.” –Fifteen Dogs, André Alexis

Is it possible to die happy? That is the question the gods Hermes and Apollo ponder over a beer at the Wheatsheaf Tavern in Toronto. They make a bet, grant 15 dogs human consciousness, and watch from above as the pups discover the poetry and the pitfalls of complex thought and emotion. In this modern-day fable of fate, faith, love, and language, the pack must reckon with morality and mortality and the profound relationships they share with humans.
