A MAYDAY Production Co-Presented by Dance Immersion and Canadian Stage. Created, directed, and choreographed by Mélanie Demers with the precious collaboration of the interpreters.
The cast of Cabaret Noir uses movement, dialogue, and music to reconstruct emblematic scenes from popular culture in a work that is both a celebration and resistance of concepts of "Blackness". The artists play with clichés, folklore, and prejudices, summoning the words of Frantz Fanon, Nina Simone, Dany Laferrière, and Spike Lee to illustrate that no external authority can define our identities.
Nearing the end of the company’s first full season since 2019 - a season that saw audiences eagerly returning to the joy and thrill of live theatre, bringing back pre-pandemic subscription levels, full houses, and sold-out shows – Canadian Stage has announced an ambitious 23.24 season defined by thrilling and urgently relevant contemporary theatre and performance work from Canada and around the world.
In February, the CS Platforms series – designed to introduce audiences to some of the world's most vanguard artists - continues with Montréal artist Mélanie Demers' CABARET NOIR, co-presented with dance Immersion at the Berkeley Street Theatre February 9 – 11.
Canadian Stage will lift the curtain today on an unabashedly ambitious 15-show season for 22.23, presenting exceptional performance from Canada and around the world, celebrating large-scale, theatrical spectacle alongside intimate and provocative social commentary.
