Who is The B Party?
The B Party is a fictional private consultation firm made up of two theatre artists, Nada Abusaleh and Viktorija Kovac. It is based on a 2017 performance creation in response to the Women’s March on Washington. The duo play and perform fictionalized versions of themselves while sharing their personal stories as immigrant women to facilitate a marketing presentation of the iconic doll. The B Party is produced by Cosmic Fishing Theatre (@CosmicFishing), an experimental independent theatre company based in the Waterloo Region. Cosmic Fishing Theatre wishes to thank the Ontario Arts Council, Nightwood Theatre (Toronto), and Femme Folks Fest for the support of their festival pop-up special events which are a part of their ongoing research and play development process.
