It is believed that the rising smoke from a funeral pyre represents the ascent of the soul to a higher plane. It can be seen as honouring a natural cycle, reducing the body to ash and the elements of which it is composed. Funeral Pyre Theatre or FPT Collective as it is now known, brings performances that will break down plays to their natural elements, allowing them to be experienced fully, perhaps for the first time.
Established in London, Ontario in 2014, FPT Collective has produced original and classic works in London, Hamilton, and Toronto, both independently as well as in collaboration with other independent artists. All proceeds from plays and workshops are re-invested in furthering the goals outlined in our Mission Statement. MISSION STATEMENT FPT Collective will engage, entertain and challenge audiences with theatrical productions that range from classic productions to original works; we provide opportunities to theatrical artists to develop skills, and to showcase talents in the community. We encourage life-long learning and promote the celebration of live theatre. VALUES Our vision incorporates the following values: Excellence
