Aubrey Wang reviews lacuna by Eric Jiang at Belvoir Downstairs, Griffin Lookout 2026. A freelance psychopomp harvests the memories of the living on contract to the goddess of oblivion. An Orphic English-Cantonese three-hander about queer and diaspora grief, and the gig economy of forgetting.

Sofia El Iraki brings Influence to the Montréal Fringe — a 45-minute contemporary dance work, made in a week of intensive rehearsal with co-creators Sacha Ashwini and Noha Abdelmoaty, that weaves movement vocabularies from Morocco, Egypt and India into a meditation on identity, connection and the influences we carry. The piece runs June 17–20, 2026 at La Chapelle.
