With a proud history as a pioneer of multidisciplinary theatre with a focus on media integration, Theatre Gargantua is also dedicated to supporting the development of new and exciting multidisciplinary work by artists in the wider community. One way that we support community arts development is through our gear rental service: Gargantua Gear.
This program opens our collection of technical equipment including projectors, speaker systems, wireless microphone packs, and camera equipment to local artists and arts organizations.
After selling out its world premiere along with Canadian Opera Company in June 2022, Theatre Gargantua, Nightwood Theatre and Amplified Opera are thrilled to be touring The Queen In Me by interdisciplinary artist Teiya Kasahara 笠原貞野 (they/he), accompanied by pianist David Eliakis (he/him). Combining comedy, drama, and opera, this electrifying show explores the many ways that race, gender, and sexuality are policed in the opera industry. Through the lens of The Magic Flute’s iconic Queen of the Night, the show reclaims space for the multitudes of women, trans, and non-binary individuals excluded from the stage, daring to imagine bold new possibilities for the future of the art form and beyond.
