How to Disappear Completely

Itai Erdal is an award winning lighting designer. He’s also a gifted storyteller who draws on a life fully lived between his birthplace, Jerusalem, and his current home in Vancouver, BC.

In How to Disappear Completely, Erdal demonstrates his approach to theatrical lighting while also reflecting on the events that followed his mother asking him to take her life.

In this starkly simple yet deeply profound and surprisingly funny new work, Erdal invites us to witness his mother’s vibrant personality, the strong bond she had with her son and how she faced her imminent death. This award-winning show pairs the power of Erdal’s story with the nuanced potency of stage lighting).
