| Lady Peasblossom is an eccectric lady with a collection of creature oddities that she likes to show off at her annual tea parties.
A heavily improvised performance art installation combining aerial, dance, theatre and visual art, Lady Peasblossom's Sanctuary encourages its audience to step through the fourth wall and question the very nature of the environment it suddenly finds itself immersed in.
Lady Peasblossom's Sanctuary was first workshopped in April 2009 at the HerciniArts studio space. This was followed by a two week run as part of Zoofest/Just For Laughs in Montreal in July.
