Help bring A MOMENT FOR FRAYED NERVES by Kevin Wong and Alysa Pires to Toronto Fringe 2026!

In moments that seem hopeless and exhausting, what brings joy? What brings connection? What brings someone back to their humanity?

From Toronto Composer-Lyricist Kevin Wong (Drama 101, The Preposterous Predicament of Polly Peel, In Real Life) and Choreographer Alysa Pires (Macbeth, Standard Deviation, In Between), A MOMENT FOR FRAYED NERVES immerses the audience in a musical bath of song and movement. It is a series of emotionally-linked musical vignettes inspired by Ghibli cooking scenes, lo-fi study mixes, warm baths, and the quest for existential meaning.

A MOMENT FOR FRAYED NERVES was conceived from the desire to offer something genuinely specific, granular, delightful, introspective, and comforting. It is a love letter to the ways in which our modern human experience is at once heartening, confounding, counterintuitive, and everything to us.
