Warm, wise and overflowing with generosity, this is a love story so epic it embraces all of creation. Yet another reminder of how blessed we are to be in the struggle with elders like David and Tara.

“What’s love got to do with it?” A lot, according to David Suzuki.
After a lifetime devoted to activism, internationally renowned environmentalists David Suzuki and Tara Cullis take the stage in an intimate and inspiring theatre experience. In a behind-the-scenes look at a life shaped by deep love, commitment, and the courage to act, they reflect on their extraordinary 50-year partnership in life and activism.
Honest, warm, and thought-provoking, David and Tara share captivating stories, powerful insights, and heartfelt moments of humor as they celebrate their love for each other, their love of the planet, and love’s capacity to inspire action. They will be joined onstage by actors (and real-life couple) Miriam Fernandes and Sturla Alvsvaag.
