Pisuwin
From award-winning director and choreographer Igor Dobrovolskiy and multi-disciplinary artist Nipahtuwet Naka Wespahtuwet Possesom Paul, comes Pisuwin, an epic story-ballet based on a Wolastoq tale. This visually stunning, multi-disciplinary piece pushes audiences to confront topics like greed and alienation while inspiring us to take a different path; one of connection, community, and wholeness. Tradition falls headfirst into the contemporary, as ballet and Wolastoq visual motifs of the spiritual and natural world blends and clashes with electronic sound, industrial landscapes, and digital projection.

O’Christmas Tea: A British Comedy
Combining British propriety with an unabashed love for the unexpected, London’s 3-time Impresario Award-winning duo steep an outrageously funny and brilliantly inventive show reminiscent of classic British pantos.
Rich in wordplay, comic physicality, and cleverly crafted interactive elements, O Christmas Tea is uproarious fun, yet it is the duo’s boundless imagination and endearing chemistry that provide the real magic and heart of this play.
When catastrophe strikes at James and Jamesy’s Christmas tea party, flooding the world with tea, the duo conjure wildly funny solutions to stay afloat, and sweep the audience out to sea in a jolly aquatic escapade brimming with whimsy, action, and ingenuity in a celebration of friendship at Christmas.

Qwalena: The Wild Woman Who Steals Children
Indigenous storyteller Dallas Yellowfly brings “Qwalena: The Wild Woman Who Steals Children” to life in this unique and scary theatrical multimedia storytelling performance.
The purpose of this performance is to promote anti-racism, create awareness of the Indian Act and the intergenerational impacts of Residential Schools while strengthening communities through education.
In a dark theatre immersed with echoes of a beating drum, Yellowfly tells the scary story of a girl who is born different and bullied by kids in her community. She runs away to the forest where a sense of betrayal builds into rage. Over time Qwalena becomes the wild woman who eerily whistles to hide her movements in the forest and steals children who search for her.
