SUMMARY:LANDSLIDE: Signature Programme 4
DESCRIPTION:FFDN Original Commission | World Premiere \nLead commissioning support provided by The Bulmash-Siegel Foundation \nLandslide by Rock Bottom Movement is a surreal contemporary dance work exploring parenthood\, desire\, expectation and doubt. Choreographer Alyssa Martin skillfully blends post-modern dance\, biting theatricality and an original score with humor and joy. \nProgram \nRock Bottom Movement’s full-length work\, Landslide\, brings together divergent perspectives on parenthood\, channeling biological desire\, expectation and doubt into the body as a site of big questioning. Surreal\, aggressive and surprising\, Rock Bottom’s contemporary choreography smashes patriarchal norms with fusion of post-modern dance and biting theatricality. Set to an original composition by Jacobi Vanderham and Britta Johnson inspired by Fleetwood Mac’s iconic ballad\, Landslide pulses with the question of whether\, or not\, to usher in a new generation.

SUMMARY:Goodnight Desdemona (Good Morning Juliet)
DESCRIPTION:A joyful comedy that flips the script on Shakespeare’s most infamous heroines\nTo celebrate the 40th anniversary of her landmark play\, acclaimed novelist and playwright Ann-Marie MacDonald steps into the spotlight as Constance Ledbelly\, the overlooked academic who tumbles headlong into Shakespeare’s worlds and discovers that the heroines (and even Constance herself) may be capable of far more than anyone imagined. \nAt once wildly funny and moving\, this Canadian classic unleashes Desdemona and Juliet as fierce forces of their own destiny and reminds us that sometimes the bravest act is claiming your own story.

SUMMARY:Cabaret
DESCRIPTION:Dancing at the edge of history\nFew musicals feel as essential to revisit—or as urgent to re-examine—as Cabaret. \nSet in Berlin as the shadows of extremism lengthen\, Cabaret invites us into a world of music\, seduction\, and dangerous denial. Beneath its unforgettable songs lies one of musical theatre’s most incisive examinations of how societies unravel. Not overnight\, but slowly\, and in plain sight. \nWith a bold new vision by director Kimberley Rampersad\, this production invites Toronto audiences to experience Cabaret not as a relic of the past\, but as a work of thrilling theatrical intelligence and modern relevance.

SUMMARY:Creditors
DESCRIPTION:Every desire has a cost.\nAt a secluded seaside hotel\, a young artist and his magnetic wife find their marriage unsettled by the arrival of a charismatic stranger. What begins as friendly conversation turns into something sharper: a slow\, surgical dismantling of certainty\, confidence\, and love. \nIn this razor-edged reimagining of Strindberg’s classic\, Artistic Director Brendan Healy and an all-star cast transform a classic battle of the sexes into a thrilling psychological chamber piece about ego\, desire\, and the stories we tell about ourselves. Seductive\, unsettling\, and darkly funny\, Creditors asks: who owns the narrative and who pays the price?
