The Ruckus
Packed with jaw-dropping delights, The Ruckus is a must-see circus cabaret show for all ages where world-class acrobatics collide with pure, fabulous chaos.
Nancy, new to town and catastrophically behind schedule, is too busy blasting Celine Dion to notice her guests are due to arrive… any minute now! Played by acclaimed acrobatic clown Arielle Lauzon, Nancy scrambles to pull off the perfect party with the assistance of her wildly talented (yet largely unhelpful) friends, and the pressure is on for everything to be perfect!
What follows is a riot of high heels on treadmills, human-sized balloons, extravagant costume changes, and astonishing physical feats - all soundtracked by the spirit of a certain legendary French-Canadian diva.
With a cast of all elite female and non-binary performers, The Ruckus is a fierce, funny, glitter-soaked explosion of skill.

Circa: Wolf
Clad in designer Libby McDonnell's form-hugging costumes and set to DJ Ori Lichtik's relentless primal rhythms, the cast of ten extraordinary Circa artists grasp, tear, climb, leap and balance with fierce abandon. For Director Yaron Lifschitz, the wolf is a symbol of our untameable selves: liberating, anarchic and savage. The wolves evolve from disruptive forces of chaos into a ferocious pack whose intense choreographies overflow with raw energy and astounding physicality. Wolf is circus with fangs. Join the pack.
