A chorus of women across cultures, identities, and generations gather in a threshold where time collapses, where worlds collide, where women stand. This epic new work inspired by Euripides’ classic meets three modern Syrian women after a wild storm brings them to the shores of Turkey – as the ancient Trojan Women prepare for their voyage to Greece. 

Thrilling, heartbreaking, and inspiring, After the Trojan Women will sweep you across millennia and cultures of women in times of war and perseverance.

Geoffrey loves looking for four leaf clovers. Come look for them with him and attune your focus to the intricate world that lives under our feet. Featuring special musical guests ghostcars (Saturday) and Bigfin Squid (Sunday).

About the Artist: Geoffrey Simon Brown is an award-winning Albertan theatre maker as well as an amateur gardener and visual artist. A long time Found Festival fanboy, this will be his first time as an artist in the festival since his play, Air, was performed in a living room in 2015. When he is not on a clover hunt, he co-runs the Major Matt Mason Collective where he has produced small-scale independent theatre for the past thirteen years. Through the company’s Wildfire National Playwriting Competition and Development Unit, he has helped to support dozens of new Canadian plays alongside his collaborator Evan Medd. Elsewhere in the festival you can catch him acting in the world premiere of Brick Shithouse by Ashleigh Hicks. He has found hundreds of four leaf clovers in his lifetime.

afterbirth is a multidisciplinary performance that uses experimental live sound, contemporary dance, and meditation to remember the day of our birth. Projected images of lush pastel sky scapes and blue bodies of water accompany Kait as she performs this prayer to remember. Inspired by the artist’s intense desire to belong and connect, Kait guides the audience through a ritual filled with fake magic and sweet memories.

In this memory play about aging, reciprocity and care, 50-year-old “immigrant kid” Kris gives you a tour of her childhood home – the sights, sounds, smells – to meet her parents, while she takes inventory of ALL their stuff, trying to get to know them better in real time.

THE NATURE OF US is a devised sound installation featuring soundscapes, monologues, and choral music. The concept aims to give voice to natural elements for a more empathic understanding of nature.

In collaboration with nature, a choir invites the public to immerse themselves in the natural world through this acoustic experience. The audio installation takes place in a public green space or park, asking the audience to widen their listening field to involve everything from birds, trees, and the wind.

The initial creation was a collaboration with founding Co-Artistic Director of TRAction, Kevin Jesuino, and ARTIO choir directors, Jean-Louis Bleu and Cass Bassette. The work includes the voices of ten choral members and the ecological community located in the Edmonton River Valley.

Influencers are millionaires and inflation is on the rise: so, seven best friends/worst enemies are anonymously livestreaming their fight club in a desperate attempt to keep up with rent. When their viewers start to demand more and more (and offering top-dollar to get what they want), each fighter must figure out where they draw the line. At risk of doxxing, death threats, and darkweb pervs, these seven must figure out how to band together before they tear each other apart.
