CBC presents a first-of-its-kind literary experience, powered by you. Eighty Thousand Steps is a cinematic podcast/audiobook specially designed to listen to while you walk and starring international bestselling author Denise Chong. Writer Crystal Chan presents this work, inviting the audience to step into the shoes of a refugee and journey into a land of fable and mystery. Participants enjoy a guided tour where they have the opportunity to listen to the show together. The tour features several stops, where the author goes behind the scenes to reveal the creative process and the story behind the story. This tour offers insights into oral storytelling, diaspora and intergenerational literature, and writing political and personal works as embodied experiences. Bring along your smartphone, earbuds or headphones. Throughout the festival, participants can enjoy the full show at cbc.ca/eightythousandsteps and an author discussion between Crystal Chan and Denise Chong in our virtual programming. A family-friendly event (single admission price for an adult accompanying two children under the age of 12). Rain date: Sunday, April 28th, 2024, 2:00 PM.

Participants:  Crystal Chan, Denise Chong 

With the support of the Secrétariat aux relations avec les Québécois d’expression anglaise.
