About the Program

As part of the PuSh International Performing Arts Festival, grunt gallery in association with the students of Bridgeview Elementary in Surrey presented Haircuts by children by Toronto's Mammalian Diving Reflex. Following successful runs in Los Angeles, Toronto, and Birmingham, Haircuts by Children invites you to take part in an event that tests your courage and faith in the future. Surrender your preconceptions (and your scalp) to the aesthetic choices of these mini-barbers. A whimsical piece that plays with the enfranchisement of children and the level of trust we afford them, creating a dialogue between groups not used to such a reversal of power, especially one where your vanity is put to the test. Let them cut your fears away as they prove themselves leaders of the future, capable and responsible citizens and dedicated coiffures.
