Ghost River Theatre invites you to a series of unique theatrical experiences that promise to captivate your senses and stir your emotions. From the meditative sounds of 'Echoes of the Land,' led by traditional drummers and poets, to the whimsical fashion show 'Object Runway' where clocks take center stage, and finally, an intimate musical evening 'Songs for my Father to Fall Asleep To,' each event offers something distinct and deeply personal. Join us at the West Village Theatre in Calgary for an artistic journey that transcends time and space.

Exploring Artistic Narratives: A Journey Through Sound, Style, and Song

Join Kris Demeanor and special guests for an intimate evening of music celebrating Kris’ album Songs for my Father to Fall Asleep To. This collection of songs was recorded over the past four years in studios, basements, churches, forests and tunnels, and was created as a love letter to his family and friends, and in particular to his father Wilfried. The performance will highlight the recording along with projection, lighting and story, creating a theatrical song cycle curated by the brilliant eye and ear of Ghost River Theatre’s Eric Rose.

Welcome to Object Runway, in which celebrated multidisciplinary artist and Ghost River Theatre artist-in-residence, Robin Leveroos, brings clocks to life. 

Audiences will be treated to a thrilling blend of fashion, drag culture, and mechanical magic as alarm clocks strut their stuff to Madonna's Hung Up and drag queens offer their sassiest critiques. In this high-energy, immersive micro-performance, the audience becomes the ultimate style influencer, revelling in each clock's quirky fashion statement.
