Borrowed Light

Before the coast goes dark, listen.

Over two years, the company interviewed nine lighthouse keepers from Newfoundland to Haida Gwaii — some retired, some still tending the last staffed lights on the Atlantic and Pacific. Their words, verbatim, form the script of Borrowed Light.

Staged among working Fresnel lenses and live fog, the piece asks what a country keeps when it automates its own glow. Performed in English with French surtitles.
