The Holy Gasp Presents Six Electrifying Performances of “…And the Lord Hath Taken Away” in Toronto at 918 Bathurst Centre

Dress for a funeral. Yours and everyone else’s. Death is the destiny of all of us, and the living should take this to heart.”

— Benjamin Hackman

TORONTO, ONTARIO, CANADA, August 29, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ — Toronto’s genre-bending music collective, The Holy Gasp, is set to dazzle audiences with six live performances of their critically acclaimed record, “…And the Lord Hath Taken Away,” at 918 Bathurst Centre for Culture, Arts, Media, and Education from November 7-10, 2024.

The Holy Gasp is known for their unique blend of music, theater, cinema, and performance art, creating experiences that are as thought-provoking as they are entertaining. The band describes their work as “as artistic examination of what it means to suffer and thrive,” blending elements of jazz, punk, and musical theatre with powerful storytelling and poetry.

The upcoming performances will feature the entirety of their most recent release, “…And the Lord Hath Taken Away,” performed live in its entirety for the very first time–with a 45-person orchestra, precisely as it was intended to be witnessed.

The Holy Gasp has garnered significant acclaim in the film and music industry, most recently winning the award for Best Music Video at the Regina International Film Festival (RIFFA) for their puppet musical, “Out of the Hands of the Wicked,” in addition to the Award for Best Animation at the Hudson Animation Festival for “Devil Oh Devil.” Their much beloved fan favourite, “The Algonquin Bridge,” was also screened this year as a part of the Best Films of 2023 at the Zebra Poetry Film Festival in Berlin, Germany. This adds to their growing list of accolades and solidifies their reputation as one of Canada’s most innovative and impactful music and performance collectives.

The six performances at 918 Bathurst promise to be an unforgettable experience. With limited seating available, audiences are encouraged to secure their tickets early. And as frontman Benjamin Hackman advises to all attending: “Dress for a funeral. Yours and everyone else’s. Death is the destiny of all of us, and the living should take this to heart.”

Leading up to the November presentations of “…And the Lord Hath Taken Away,” you can join The Holy Gasp every Wednesday in September at Cafe Pamenar to “Be ME with The Holy Gasp,” an existential talk show and happening.
