A dance-driven retelling of the classic Wonderland tale, Alice embarks on a journey through her own mind in this story of healing, self-discovery, and reclaiming your light after loss. Shaken by the echoes of a broken heart and guided by her mysterious alter ego, Shadow Alice, our heroine slips into a dreamscape of unforgettable characters and jaw-dropping choreography, where she’s forced to confront her fears, her doubts, and the ghosts of a love that left its mark. In a place where the shadows hold all the pieces she’s tried to forget, every step brings Alice closer to finding herself again. Expect to laugh, cry, and experience an emotional rollercoaster as this story sweeps you from whimsical highs to heart-stirring lows, showing us the courage it takes to face your own shadows. Join us for a one-night-only production that’s daring, heartfelt, and visually stunning. Doors Open: 7:30pmShowtime: 8:00pm

L'UniThéâtre presents a Satellite Théâtre production. Bouée, a show with a penchant for cynical existentialism and a Monctonian perspective, tackles the biggest questions of our time: what is humanity's place in an infinite cosmos? Are we alone, or is there life elsewhere? Who, in the end, has left the light on? An effervescent, hybrid work, Bouée explores the absurd space between humanity's everyday anxieties and the potential of its interstellar ambitions. Perhaps the link between the infinitely large and the incredibly small is ultimately us.

A coproduction of Théâtre la Seizième and Kleine Compagnie At the bottom of the ocean, Petite Ondine, daughter of the King of the Sea, feels like a stranger among her own kind.

Interwoven with songs of Nina Simone, Petite Ondine is a new object theatre production by the Kleine Cie in collaboration with Théâtre La Seizième, inspired by Hans Christian Andersen’s The Little Mermaid. In cabaret form, the use of video reveals to the audience the work on miniature objects and materials that is created directly on stage, underlining the poetry and the fragility of this world underwater.

This story of blueberry muffins and lost socks transports the audience into the world of a small French-speaking community. After years of adventures abroad, Louise returns home to find her roots and takes over the laundry business that belonged to her grandmother. She also reunites with her childhood best friend, Maxime, who had always worked in his family’s bakery without changing a single ingredient. His world is turned upside down when he goes through a breakup with his girlfriend, Marie-Josée, a kindergarten teacher who's looking for more creativity in her life. Guillaume, a renowned musician, also returns to stay with his friend Maxime, since he lacks inspiration in the big city. At the heart of this play we find themes of discovery and reunion, love and friendship.

A coproduction of Théâtre la Seizième and Kleine Compagnie At the bottom of the ocean, Petite Ondine, daughter of the King of the Sea, feels like a stranger among her own kind. She dreams of another life, on land. But can a mermaid find her place among humans? Interwoven with songs of Nina Simone, Petite Ondine is a new object theatre production by the Kleine Cie in collaboration with Théâtre La Seizième, inspired by Hans Christian Andersen’s The Little Mermaid. In cabaret form, the use of video reveals to the audience the work on miniature objects and materials that is created directly on stage, underlining the poetry and the fragility of this world underwater.

This story of blueberry muffins and lost socks transports the audience into the world of a small French-speaking community. After years of adventures abroad, Louise returns home to find her roots and takes over the laundry business that belonged to her grandmother. She also reunites with her childhood best friend, Maxime, who had always worked in his family’s bakery without changing a single ingredient. His world is turned upside down when he goes through a breakup with his girlfriend, Marie-Josée, a kindergarten teacher who's looking for more creativity in her life. Guillaume, a renowned musician, also returns to stay with his friend Maxime, since he lacks inspiration in the big city. At the heart of this play we find themes of discovery and reunion, love and friendship.
