Mary Winspear Centre Presents: The Knitting Pilgrim
Wednesday, April 2nd, 2025
Doors 7:00pm, Show 7:30pm
The Knitting Pilgrim, which has toured across Canada and to Austria, Germany, and the US, is a one-hour, one-man interdisciplinary show, followed by a 30-minute meet and greet.
Welcome Kirk Dunn, knitting in front of three large projection screens. He offers to teach them how to knit, on stage are baskets of yarn and needles so they can knit along if they like. As he tells the story of his life as an actor, churchgoer, and knitter, and how, prompted by the tragedy of 9/11, he decided to knit a triptych of tapestries, in the style of stained-glass windows, exploring the commonalities and conflicts of the Abrahamic faiths.
