cicadas is recommended for audience Grade 9+

In 2035, a decade after the Trinity Bellwoods Collapse, an investigation into the mysterious disappearance of a young girl leads to a very peculiar house that has sunk into the earth.

Could a strangely luminous painting unlock long-buried secrets of what flowed beneath the home? Howling winds, storms, and the ever-present sound of cicadas remind us that nothing stays buried.

cicadas is a modern eco-thriller from the minds of Governor General’s Award and Siminovitch Prize laureate David Yee and award-winning composer Chris Thornborrow that serves as both mystery and warning.

The Caged Bird Sings

Wednesday Matinee:

  • Wednesday, June 17 @ 1pm

Additional dates may be available upon request

Themes: mythology, incarceration, relationships

The Caged Bird Sings is recommended for audience Grade 9+

Witness a radical re-imagining of Rumi’s “Masnavi”.

The Caged Bird Sings tells the story of three prisoners: two star-crossed lovers and scientists – Rumi and Jin – who share a cell with Sal, a mysterious vagrant. As they navigate their new-found reality and reconcile their past lives, they are haunted by ghosts and demons of their own making.

The Caged Bird Sings explores the literal and metaphorical prisons that we are put in, put ourselves in, and the ones that we create.  Inspired by Sufi mysticism and concepts of Fanafillah, the critically-acclaimed production examines our ability to overcome and break out of the cage.
