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.

SUMMARY:They Say
DESCRIPTION:They Say is Full Circle Theatre’s brand new\, Bridgerton-inspired prequel to Much Ado About Nothing. Set before Beatrice and Benedick became Shakespeare’s most famously combative almost-lovers turned lovers\, this original romantic drama imagines their first courtship\, the pressures of reputation and favour\, and the choices that helped shape the people we meet in Messina in the Shakespearean classic. \nGossip\, desire\, social maneuvering\, old wounds\, and one very important question – who is Lady Goodword? They Say is a sexy\, witty love story about who gets to tell the story and who pays the cost.

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.
