Sophie Dow: Agrimony
Agrimony walks the edge between an evocative live concert and visceral contemporary dance. Four dancers in animal masks & five musicians generously weave songs by Laura Reznek into a comprehensive & heart-centred story that honours the small yellow flower: agrimonia eupatoria –in plant medicine: a catalyst for honesty, dissolving the masks society forces us to craft; unveiling a truest self.

Knox presents: Water Words
Water Words is an acclaimed puppet theatre production co-produced by Théâtre Motus and Compagnie Djarama, featuring artists from Senegal and Canada. The show explores the global relationship with water by contrasting the daily realities of two friends: Mamby, who lives in Senegal and must seek water
Two friends, Mamby and Hélène; one lives in Senegal and the other in Canada. They both have burning feet, one from hot sand, the other from winter boots. Water sets them apart, one lives where there is an abundance of water, snow, and ice, while the other must seek water, carrying it in buckets.
“MAMBY: I think that water transmits everything we say. Water understands all languages.”
The main character is water, a precious liquid that is scarce in many places. Before our eyes, Hélène and Mamby give life and language to water’s different forms: spring water, well water, salt water, rainwater... They voice the challenges, fears, frustrations, and worries accompanying the lack and abundance of water, taking us from the Sahel region in West Africa to America.

Knox Presents: CaneFire
“If Dizzy Gillespie were still with us, he would love CaneFire” Vancouver Sun
“CaneFire is sweeter than Caroni brown sugar and don’t doubt me” Trinidad Guardian
Toronto-based Caribbean jazz powerhouse CaneFire is NOT your grandfather’s jazz band. As one of the most explosive and energetic jazz ensembles on the planet, CaneFire delivers a rollicking, high-octane show combining the white-hot energy of Cuban rhythm, the blinding musicianship of modern jazz, and the unbridled joy of the music of the Caribbean.
CaneFire’s signature sound revolves around its unconventional use of the steelpan – the only petroleum byproduct in the world that is actually good for you. Led by Canadian pianist/composer Jeremy Ledbetter, CaneFire also features steelpan virtuoso Mark Mosca, Alexis Baro (trumpet), Braxton Hicks (saxophones), Chendy Leon (drums), Yoser Rodriguez (bass), and Alberto Suarez (percussion).

Lossy//Company 605
Lossy is about an inability to take it all with us.
these are bodies at a loss, gathering together in a stream of movement. a state of recovery. seeking and sifting, grasping for an anchor. these are the bodies that were left behind, haunted by the ghostly traces of lost futures. a nostalgia for a world that never happened. it is at once real and science fiction, digital and embodied.
this liminal space holds a confrontation with the promise of future, and ever-present absences. a collision between our inexorable, ecstatic draw towards the limitless new, and a continuous loss — a perpetual state of mourning for what we are leaving behind. these are bodies compressed and incomplete. there is no answer. there is only the stream, and the blurring fragments of what we attempt to bring with us.
lossy is a warped ritual of transcendence. it is a carefree conjuring of a shiny new future “us”, and a collective grieving for what the future may no longer hold, once we finally arrive.
