THE PEOPLE vs. PAIN (Mississauga)

"A MUST-SEE FOR ANYONE LIVING WITH PAIN AND EVERYONE WHO TREATS IT" Written & performed by Dr. Bahram Jam ************************************ What if the thing you’ve been fighting your entire life was actually trying to protect you? Throughout the ages, pain has been viewed as the enemy that must be suppressed, medicated, and defeated. It’s time we brought this criminal to justice and put Pain on the stand to defend itself once and for all. And you are invited as the guest of honor to be part of the jury in this trial. In this captivating new touring show THE PEOPLE vs. PAIN, audiences are taken on a journey into the psyche behind our most detested sensation. This humorous and deeply moving one-man courtroom drama gives Pain a chance to share its side of the story in hopes of proving its innocence. THE PEOPLE vs. PAIN is written and performed live by Dr. Bahram Jam, a world-renowned physical therapist with 34 years of clinical experience and a Doctorate in Physical Therapy. Dr. Jam has spent over three decades devoted to helping adults and children with chronic pain and created this show to provide education, inspiration, and hope for anyone who has dealt with pain before. This engaging theatrical show uses audience participation and surprising evidence to challenge everything we think we know about pain. In an era where quick-fix medical solutions have fueled a devastating opioid crisis, this performance offers thoughtful insights and alternative solutions. Whether you live with an ache that won't go away, care for someone with chronic pain, or just want to understand pain better, this show is an empowering, must-see experience that promises to change the way you relate to discomfort forever. Come and be part of this historic experience, where we will be asking the radical question: Is Pain guilty, or not guilty?
