June 10 – 23, 2022 Psycho 6 Montreal Arts Intercultural (MAI) Studio Playwright: Oliver Koomsatira Director: Liz Valdez Psycho 6 was developed in Teesri Duniya Theatre’s Fireworks program. It follows the journey of K, a young man who has been in and out of foster homes and youth centres since the age of 9. His broken home, fiery temper, and financial destitution have all led him down a path of increasingly more dangerous criminal activities. The play talks about a subject that is rarely addressed in the theatre community: youth gangs, pimping, and the prison system. It takes a deep look into how specific socio-economic factors create a context in which marginalised people of colour are vulnerable to delinquency, out of sheer necessity.
