Shadowland creates theatre that is expressive in style, highly imaginative in concept, and spectacular in execution.  Masks, puppetry, stilts, live music, fire, and evocative visual imagery draw audiences into worlds where stories ​unfold and dreams are unravelled.

The mummers are coming!

Are you wondering how to get through the holidays without the hopeful humour of Shadowland's special seasonal play? Well, we have got you covered. The Mummers are coming! Catch our virtual but determined troupe at two stellar holiday specials. As per tradition they will come knocking right at your online door. So, to avoid even more rascally behaviour, please let them in!!
You can catch our Mummers at these spectacular holiday events: 
December 13th at 7pm: Concrete Cabaret #7 - A Very Special Holiday Special 
December 21st at 7pm: Kensington Market Winter Solstice Parade-O-Rama

Both of these fabulous events are can be viewed from the comfort of your home, so don't miss out! 

Moving House, Finding Home

Home and adversity battle it out in a spectacular theatrical parade! Giant puppet, stilt walkers and music.

This socially-distant parade visited six communities in and around Neilson Park (Etobicoke), Rustic Park, Dentonia Park, Guild Park, Beverly Glen Park and Maidavale Park this August. Delighting audiences from afar, our band of merry marchers took these neighbourhoods on a journey of love and resilience in the face of adversity. 

Watch the launch for the digital parade here. 

Ward's island Fire Parade

This year for the Ward's Island Fire Parade we prompted the Island Community to make Home-oji's; a physical and spiritual representation of their homes, in celebration of the 40th Anniversary of The Day at the Bridge. The community response was phenomenal. Shadowland curated an outdoor exhibit to display the wonderful pieces of artwork, culminating in a surprise theatrical spectacle! 

A digital iteration of the project is also in the works, so watch this space.
