Shibari
After the performances, the space will open to Toronto’s shibari community so they can indulge in their passion during this electrifying night. Energetic beats and great drinks will continue to flow throughout the night and everyone is welcome to stay.
Shibari is a Japanese art form with a complex history stretching back hundreds of years.
In a beautiful display of trust and vulnerability a rope artist works with a model, often suspending them in mid-air, blending rope techniques and the human body’s natural landscape to create stunning shapes that challenge us to see human form in bold new ways.
