WinterWorks 2026 returns to Centaur Theatre from February 4 to 22, showcasing innovative Canadian performances. The festival features two fully realized productions, Frequencies and The Healing, alongside Pay-What-You-Can staged readings of Holes and Lay Down All Dogs. Frequencies, created by Aaron Collier, blends live electronic music and virtual reality to explore themes of memory and loss, while The Healing, choreographed by Hanna Kiel, offers a contemporary dance-theatre experience rooted in personal heritage. The festival promises an engaging mix of established and emerging talent, including directors Christopher Morris and Aaron Jan, ensuring a dynamic exploration of theatrical expression.
