Fake

It’s pretty, but is it art? This is a show about trickery. About fraud. About lies. Magician and storyteller Chris Cook weaves a true tale of deception, where lives across centuries are bound together by illusion. Through magic, comedy and storytelling, Chris shares the story of a faker so skilled he had to forge his way to freedom, an artist so talented he may himself be a fraud, a magician whose promise conceals a lie, and a mysterious figure who may not exist at all.

Scenes From A Falling World

The world is falling, the stars are leaving, the leaves are working overtime. Lovers cling to each other, families break apart, and humanity searches for something to hold onto. How do we react when we fall? What do we do on the way down? Scenes From a Falling World delves into an exploration of the absurd and mundane through physical theatre, clown, puppetry, music, and more. We question: what does it mean to live in a world that is falling? What is it to fall in love? To ‘have a fall’? To be in the 'autumn of one's life'? Or to fall deep into madness? How do we move forward when everything around us seems to be falling apart?

FIASCO: An Improvised Archive

Adapted from the hit tabletop role-playing game from Bully Pulpit Games, FIASCO is a show about the complex relationships between selfish people with poor impulse control. Every performance, with the help of the audience, our players will explore a new story in our fully improvised archive; stories filled with brutality and intrigue, rage and desire, and a tangled web of threads that combine with unfortunate circumstances to create... Well, quite the fiasco.

Threshold

Order, shapes the way we live. We learn to edit ourselves into forms that appear perfect, respectable and acceptable to the world around us. Yet the instincts we suppress, the shame we hide, and the impulses that do not fit neatly into social order do not disappear. They grow quietly beneath the surface. Inspired by the dream sequence in The Peony Pavilion, this physical theatre work externalises an inner psychological conflict through movement, projection, light and breath. Bodies fracture, resist and reassemble inside a shifting visual landscape, inviting audiences into a private emotional maze. When the masks we carry are stripped away, what remains? And can we embrace the disordered, wounded, living self beneath?

Voices of Canada

Rediscover Richard Strauss’s Ein Heldenleben, alongside new vocal works paying tribute to Canada’s Indigenous peoples and work by Gabriela Ortiz.In the second concert of the Orchestre symphonique de Montréal (OSM), Rafael Payare invites audiences to a conversation across time with a powerful programme of music culminating in Richard Strauss’s sumptuous tone poem Ein Heldenleben. With a stirring battle episode, ardent love music and playful quotations from the composer’s earlier works, it is a musical self-portrait both mischievous and deeply moving that takes full advantage of the possibilities of a large orchestra.This monumental staple of the late Romantic period is paired with carefully selected contemporary pieces. Indigenous Canadian sopranos Emma Pennell and Elisabeth St-Gelais join the orchestra for two powerful new vocal works confronting history, memory and the lived experience of Indigenous communities in Canada today.Alongside these, Gabriela Ortiz’s cello concerto Dzonot summons an evocation of the subterranean rivers, caves and stunning wildlife of Mexico’s Yucatán peninsula. Ortiz, also featured in the LA Phil’s programme, described it as a ‘form of protest’ responding to our neglect of these valuable ecosystems. It was written for cello soloist Alisa Weilerstein, who plays with ‘directness and insight… technical prowess and depth of feeling’ (The Guardian).Together, they encourage audiences to approach Strauss anew, inviting questions on voice, identity, and our relationship to the natural world.Supported by Léan Scully Endowed Fund with additional support from The Québec Government Office in London
