Sidestream Festival 2025

A new festival of bold and innovative performances and works-in-progress coming August 6-10 at The Kiwanis Theatre in Chatham, Ontario

August 6 to 10, 20250

Theatre Gargantua’s Sidestream Cycle provides creative and production support for artist-driven projects that encourage artists to expand their artistic practice with exciting and innovative new works. Projects created in our Sidestream Cycle have gone on to tour internationally.

Sidestream: A Festival of New Works expands on the success of our Sidestream Cycles by giving audiences an opportunity to experience new works in various stages of development. Your participation as a part of our festival audience will directly influence the artistic creation process through your feedback and you will be among the first audiences to see many of the works presented. Each performance will be made up of a work that has premiered and a piece that is still in an earlier stage of development.

We invite you to join us for a single night or for the entire festival to experience the thrilling diversity represented by our artists and their projects. Our inaugural festival truly provides something for every age and interest and we can not wait to share these new works with you.
