1984:AGAIN
Big Brother isn’t coming. He’s already here.
In this gripping adaptation of Orwell’s masterpiece, Winston Smith commits the ultimate crime—he falls in love. In a world of absolute surveillance, his forbidden affair with Julia becomes a radical act of defiance against the Ministry of Truth.
Drawing terrifying parallels to modern day surveillance, disinformation and politics, 1984:AGAIN asks: can human connection give us the collective courage to stand together and rebel?

TREE DRUM (RE-MOUNT)
Tree Drum" is told by Bill Beauregarde (Cree/Enoch.) It explores the personal life story and experience of Indigenous theatre artist Bill Beauregarde, who was taken from his family at the age of three. Bill shared the story with long-time friend and theatre artist, Susanna Uchatius (Austrian/Eastern European), that at 9 years old, while in a group home, the crab apple tree in the backyard repeatedly called to him. It wanted to be a drum. So, Bill cut the tree down and made his first drum. This was the beginning of a remarkable journey - an intuitive discovery of who he is.
Re-mounted as an Indigenous storytelling session, “Tree Drum” passes down Bill’s knowledge and experiences invitingly in an oral tradition full of humour and wisdom. Through telling this inspirational tale of discovery, Bill shares an invaluable perspective on Indigenous history and spirituality in the modern age.
