A digital audio journey through the city in the form of a podcast, produced in collaboration with the Ontario Centre for Artistic Excellence. This project takes a fresh look at places in the city of Ottawa through audio works that highlight the way in which teenagers view their place of living, especially in the context of a pandemic where people are only walking, often alone. The idea is to approach the creation of dramatic audio works, written by young authors and narrated by young performers, all students of the Ontario Centre for Artistic Excellence. These stories aim to reveal the poetic aspects of a seemingly ordinary place by associating a story, an affect, an invisible color that is revealed upon listening. Through the sensibilities of teenagers, Tomorrow I Was Here renews the meaning of the words memories, melancholy and hope.
