Thirteen shows, five days, two performance spaces, one venue: an experience of unhinged intensity and eclectic performance art that is truly unique to the world of Rhubarb!.
The Rhubarb! Festival is Buddies at its rawest: a hotbed of unruly creatives queering what it means to make and experience art. Canada’s longest-running genre-bending live arts festival has brought you wrestling, space opera, chainsaw-wielding teddy bears, bathroom Shakespeare, clown sisters, and cake. It’s intentional, well-crafted chaos.
It takes a rare kind of visionary to conduct this annual experiment — so we’re thrilled to announce multi-disciplinary artist Ludmylla Reis as this year’s Festival Director. They’re proving that Rhubarb! only grows more wild with age, and you’ll want to be there for every whirlwind moment. Make sure you stay hydrated (Tallulah’s Cabaret can help with that).
