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.

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.
