Amygdala & Hum-Buzz

Love So Far Poster - 1200x675.PNG

Sex, death, love, and hope. Amygdala and Hum-Buzz are two short poetic performances that take a hard warm look at human evolution, who we are, and what we could be. A wild antidote to loneliness.


Amygdala uses music, poetry, and games to connect to human evolution. In our brains, the amygdala is a reactive centre that splashes danger signals throughout our bodies. But it also has an incredible plasticity to learned behaviour and is central to decision-making. This is the bridge between our unique character and collective evolution. This short performance is about who we are—as a community, as a species—creating that story about ourselves together, forever.


Hum-Buzz is a mad-dash virtuosic performance about someone—or something—that is in love with you. She lives in your bathroom and she sees your secrets. Or she thinks she does. Through the whiplash haze of ridiculousness, Hum-Buzz looks at the absurd decision so many of us make to have children. And what responsibilities to the world we are creating for ourselves.


So get frantic, obsess over someone, forget your inhibitions, and open wide!

Land Acknowledgement

The Guelph Fringe Festival will be performed on the treaty lands and territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation of the Anishinaabek Peoples. We recognize this gathering place where we create and perform theatre is home to many past, present, and future First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples. Our acknowledgement of the land is our declaration of our collective responsibility to this place and its peoples’ histories, rights, and presence. The Guelph Fringe team supports and adds our collective voice to the CALLS TO ACTION by the Truth and Reconciliation Committee on Indian Residential Schools (and other identified sites of trauma) with our commitment to never forget, to hold governments and colonial forces to account, and to seek accountability and healing for injustice.
