The Misfit is a dark comedy, inspired by the true story of a South Asian Vancouver woman who was killed for marrying outside of her caste.
It focuses in on a group of Indian wedding dancers who have lived and loved and shared their stories through elements of MTV/Top 40, Urdu Ghazals, Jem and The Holograms, Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge and super awesome dancing!
The Misfit brings multi-Dora Award nominated and Siminovitch Prize long- listed director/dramturg Mark Cassidy (Kafka & Son), renowned Kathak dancer/choreographer Joanna De Souza (Firedance) and award winning writer/performer Anita Majumdar (Bombay Black, creator of Fish Eyes) together for their first collaboration, examining the harsh reality of tradition, love and honour in both India and Canada.
