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.

Created by Kristi Hansen with Moment Discovery “Phantom Limbs” is a glitch in the machine. A dance with the past. A memory play that may or may not remember correctly. Part performance, part technological misfire, Phantom Limbs explores what the body remembers even when something is no longer physically present. Through movement, body-based technology, and layered memory, Kristi Hansen plays with absence, sensation, and the poetic tension between what once was and what remains.

Randy Boyagoda is a novelist, professor of English and the University of Toronto’s Advisor on Civil Discourse, the first such position in Canada. In this talk, he explores the state of civil discourse in our personal, professional, and shared public lives, the stakes for getting it right. Civil discourse advances knowledge, serves the common good, and aids in the pursuit of truth. But it only works if people are willing to trust each other, be curious about other viewpoints, admit they might be wrong about something, and want to learn more. This is thinking out loud together, this is civil discourse in action.

Through a physical exploration of the ways queer club culture, plant growth cycles, and sapphic intimacy intersect, ULTRA VIOLETS frames queer becoming as a cause for celebration. In this 55-minute dance-theatre work, an ensemble of queer dancers moves through phases of transformation on both individual and collective scales while inviting audiences to witness this process at hyper speed, moving through rot, rebirth, and everything in between. Set in a world that is part greenhouse, part underground dance club, the piece draws from disco aesthetics and ecology alike, unapologetically celebrating sapphic love and collective acts of resistance. With integrated design, plenty of disco balls, and dirt, ULTRA VIOLETS offers a glimpse into the process of becoming while asking one simple question: do you want to dance?

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.

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.

Created by Kristi Hansen with Moment Discovery “Phantom Limbs” is a glitch in the machine. A dance with the past. A memory play that may or may not remember correctly. Part performance, part technological misfire, Phantom Limbs explores what the body remembers even when something is no longer physically present. Through movement, body-based technology, and layered memory, Kristi Hansen plays with absence, sensation, and the poetic tension between what once was and what remains.

Robert Bhola reimagines the Trinidadian folktale The Hunter and Papa Bois through striking shadow puppetry, narrated by a groundbreaking Banraku-style signing puppet that tells the entire story using handshapes and shadow puppetry. Theresa Upton shares a heartfelt farmyard memory in Treska and Curly the Bull, a warm and personal tale inspired by her childhood bond with a bull. Andy Davies closes with Leaves, a playful and thoughtful reflection on friendship, life’s fleeting moments, and the little things that make magic everyday. Together, these three distinct works celebrate Deaf artistry, visual storytelling, and the boundless creativity of puppetry and animated objects. All Tickets Pay What You Will.

Join Joanne Weber and Mustafa Alabssi of the Deaf Crows Collective as they discuss the process behind their new play, The Deaf Tempest. The Deaf Tempest reimagines Shakespeare’s classic as a bold, text-free, visually immersive spectacle rooted in Deaf aesthetics. Written and Directed by Chrystene Ells, this groundbreaking production transforms the story’s magic, betrayal, and redemption into a universal language of movement, puppetry, mask, Visual Vernacular, and projection—offering an experience fully accessible to Deaf, Hard of Hearing, hearing, neurodivergent, newcomer, and visually impaired audiences alike. Developed through storyboard-based creation, ensemble improvisation, and innovative accessibility design, The Deaf Tempest showcases a diverse cast and pushes the boundaries of contemporary physical theatre. A celebration of cultural diversity, creativity, and Deaf expression, The Deaf Tempest invites audiences into a world where storytelling lives entirely in the body. Joanne and Mustafa will show pictures and scenes from their recent production and discuss the process behind its creation.

Randy Boyagoda is a novelist, professor of English and the University of Toronto’s Advisor on Civil Discourse, the first such position in Canada. In this talk, he explores the state of civil discourse in our personal, professional, and shared public lives, the stakes for getting it right. Civil discourse advances knowledge, serves the common good, and aids in the pursuit of truth. But it only works if people are willing to trust each other, be curious about other viewpoints, admit they might be wrong about something, and want to learn more. This is thinking out loud together, this is civil discourse in action.

Through a physical exploration of the ways queer club culture, plant growth cycles, and sapphic intimacy intersect, ULTRA VIOLETS frames queer becoming as a cause for celebration. In this 55-minute dance-theatre work, an ensemble of queer dancers moves through phases of transformation on both individual and collective scales while inviting audiences to witness this process at hyper speed, moving through rot, rebirth, and everything in between. Set in a world that is part greenhouse, part underground dance club, the piece draws from disco aesthetics and ecology alike, unapologetically celebrating sapphic love and collective acts of resistance. With integrated design, plenty of disco balls, and dirt, ULTRA VIOLETS offers a glimpse into the process of becoming while asking one simple question: do you want to dance?

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.
