SUMMARY:Bárbara Wagner & Benjamin de Burca: "Swinguerra"
DESCRIPTION:For over a decade\, Bárbara Wagner & Benjamin de Burca have developed a collaborative practice across cinema\, visual arts and performance. Their videos and installations are created in dialogue with diverse artists and collectives\, combining documentary strategies with narrative layers of fantasy and allegory. \nThrough processes of listening and shared experience\, direction\, script\, costume\, and soundtrack are collectively conceived with each project’s participants. This horizontal methodology challenges dominant representational forms by revealing tensions between popular cultural practices and hegemonic structures of visibility. Their work offers a critical reflection on the performative gesture and its social\, aesthetic\, and political reverberations.

SUMMARY:Brendan Fernandes: Other Moves
DESCRIPTION:Brendan Fernandes is an internationally recognized Canadian artist working at the intersection of dance and visual art. Based in Chicago\, his practice explores race\, queer culture\, migration\, protest\, and other forms of collective movement. Seeking to create new spaces for agency and belonging\, Fernandes’ work often takes hybrid forms; part ballet\, part queer dance party\, part political protest\, while remaining grounded in collaboration and participation in order to find solidarity.

SUMMARY:A Night of Souls
DESCRIPTION:Step into a world where sensuality meets remembrance\, where we honour the mysteries of death by celebrating the vibrancy of life.Inspired by the Mexican tradition of Día de Muertos\, this burlesque night invites you to explore how cultures across the globe embrace the dance between mortality and passion. Through glittering costumes\, evocative movement\, and stories woven in feathers and sequins\, we pay tribute to the universal truth that life is most radiant when we remember its fragility. \nThis is not just a night of performance\, it is a celebration of memory\, desire\, and the beauty of what it means to be alive.

SUMMARY:Microphone Controller by Lukas Malkowski
DESCRIPTION:Where gesture becomes music and listening becomes physical—Microphone Controller reimagines the rock concert for Deaf and hearing audiences through choreography\, embodiment and language. In this 55-minute work\, voice is displaced from sound and thrown into the body. \nRooted in CODA (Child of Deaf Adults) identity\, the work draws on cultural immersion\, responsibility\, and translation between worlds. Refracted through the mythology of fame\, this work asks what the power of voice costs\, and who pays the price. As spectacle fractures into intimacy\, Microphone Controller reveals a performer navigating pressure\, expectation\, and the unstable terrain between communication and expression.

SUMMARY:Evil Dead The Musical
DESCRIPTION:Five college students visit an abandoned cabin in the woods and accidentally unleash an evil force that turns them all into demons. It’s up to Ash (a housewares employee\, turned demon-killing hero)\, and his trusty chainsaw to save the day. \nA wildly entertaining Canadian adaptation of the cult-classic horror comedy\, Evil Dead The Musical explodes onto the Martha Cohen Theatre stage this Halloween season. Blood\, jokes\, cheesy effects\, and unforgettable musical numbers\, Evil Dead The Musical is pure comedy from start to finish\, and unlike any other live show out there. Expect outrageous laughs\, over-the-top gore\, and a thrilling theatrical experience. \nAudience advisory: Suggested for ages 16+. Strong language\, sexual themes\, comedic violence (including gun violence)\, and gore. The tone of the production is comedic\, however if you experience adverse effects at the sight of blood\, we do not recommend you attend this show.
