SUMMARY:La Convivialité
DESCRIPTION:Why does critical thinking stop at the threshold of spelling? It’s because we were all taught to stop asking ourselves: “why?” Belgian theatre company Chantal & Bernadette brings its hit show La Convivialité to Théâtre la Seizième. Presented over 400 times\, this pop and subversive show led by a joyful duo of linguists shakes up the dogmas surrounding written norms… and with them\, centuries of status quo. Presented in French\, May 19–20 at Waterfront Theatre.

SUMMARY:Eight Short Compositions on the Lives of Ukrainians for a Western Audience
DESCRIPTION:In Eight Short Compositions on the Lives of Ukrainians for a Western Audience\, the political becomes profoundly personal. \nDrawn from the words of Ukrainian playwright Anastasiia Kosodii\, this delicate yet piercing work meditates on the ordinary moments that fracture under the weight of war—boiling water\, harvesting fruit\, sleeping in one’s own bed. \nAcross languages and borders\, five performers gather to honour the small acts of living that survive in the shadow of war. Through text projection\, music\, movement\, and light\, they weave a collective reflection on distance\, empathy\, and responsibility—how to stand beside those whose lives are under siege. In its quiet sincerity\, the piece invites us to listen: to the grain of a voice\, the tremor of solidarity\, the fragile beauty of life persisting against the noise of devastation.

SUMMARY:The Play that Goes Wrong
DESCRIPTION:THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG is a hilarious\, fast-paced play that offers entertainment for everyone! This brilliant piece of theatre blends farce and physical comedy with a good old murder mystery: Agatha Christie meets Monty Python. The story takes place on the opening night of the Cornley Drama Society’s production of The Murder at Haversham Manor – a 1920s large cast murder mystery play\, similar to The Mousetrap. Unfortunately for the cast\, but to the delight of audiences\, the Cornley Drama Society is renowned for overestimating their abilities and for enduring mishaps during their productions\, and we soon find out this performance is no different. If you’re looking for a fun night out this summer for friends\, family\, out-of-towners\, a date\, or just for yourself\, look no further than THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG. It’s the perfect antidote to the heaviness of the world we all seem to be enduring\, and you’re guaranteed to leave entertained! Recommended for ages 8+.

Not your traditional Snow White\, this clever twist on the beloved fairy tale is a two-actor take that’s irresistibly playful and oh-so smart.

SUMMARY:Amor Renatus (Rebirth of Love)
DESCRIPTION:Introducing AMOR RENATUS (Rebirth of Love)\, new album release concert tour from the acclaimed cellist and composer\, Ian Maksin\, who has been known for his unique way of pushing the boundaries of cello and contemporary music. This concert features a collection of original instrumental compositions for cello\, powerfully augmented into virtual orchestra through the use of loop pedal\, and further expanded by sound of diverse percussion instruments ranging from trance-inducing grooves of the West African djembe to deep\, heart-beat-like sound of the Mongolian frame drum. Reflecting on the tragic ongoing events in Ukraine\, the music delves deep into the darkest recesses of the human soul\, unearthing a myriad of feelings universal to all wars: grief\, anger\, anguish\, and indignation. Portion of the proceeds from the concert tour and album sales will be directed to For Wellbeing\, a not-for profit organization providing humanitarian relief in the areas of Ukraine most affected by war.
