About
Created by Claire Biddiscombe | Origin: Ottawa, Ontario
In February 2023, an apartment building in Ottawa was destroyed by fire. In a matter of hours, Claire Biddiscombe lost her home and most of her worldly possessions. In this interactive show, brought to life through a variety of storytelling techniques, she explores her loss and the shifting landscape of her grief, from shock to acceptance, harrowing to hopeful.
