TALK IS FREE THEATRE
**********************

The WOW Collection is an unprecedented selection of international programming that will bring curious audiences hundreds of extraordinary experiential, site-specific and immersive performances. Ten high calibre productions will span across two cities — Toronto and Barrie (and region) — from March 18 until May 17, 2020 and will blur the lines between stage and audience, and art and life, as the patron becomes the protagonist. 

The WOW Collection features multidisciplinary productions, with the inclusion of theatre, dance, music and visual arts. Our own internationally-acclaimed The Curious Voyage will be the anchor production that will transport audiences between Barrie and Toronto as part of the narrative, in the new local version.

The WOW Collection will host the Canadian premiere of the acclaimed The Museum of Fiction, starring Canada’s leading theatrical artist Robert Lepage and created and produced by his protégé Matías Umpierrez.

Legendary ballerina and Canadian Walk of Fame inductee Evelyn Hart will perform in the world premiere of TranscenDance Project’s A Grimm Night.

TIFT will present two productions alongside performances by international and lauded Canadian companies, including ZuppaTheatre, Theatre Conspiracy, Simcoe Contemporary Dancers, DLT Experience and ThinkArts.
