About Rhubarb
Canada’s longest-running new works
festival transforms Buddies into a
hotbed of experimentation, with artists
exploring new possibilities in theatre,
dance, music, and performance art. Back
this year for its 41st edition, Rhubarb is
the place to see the most adventurous
ideas in performance and to catch
your favourite artists venturing into
uncharted territory.
Buddies in Bad Times Theatre is situated on
the traditional lands of the Haudenosaunee,
the Anishinaabe, and the Wendat, and
the treaty territory of the Mississaugas
of the Credit. We acknowledge them and
any other Nations who care for the land
(acknowledged and unacknowledged, recorded
and unrecorded) as the past, present and
future caretakers of this land, referred to as
Tkaronto (“Where The Trees Meet The Water”;
“The Gathering Place”). Buddies is honoured
to be a home for queer, trans and 2-Spirit
artists on these storied and sacred lands that
have been stewarded by Indigenous peoples
for thousands of years before the arrival of
colonial settlers.

A Message from the
Curatorial Collective
An entire continent is on fire, Facebook’s immovable ad policy
now determines truth in politics, and this country’s ongoing
project of genocide continues. The inexorable truth of democracy?
Progress comes slowly.
But, this is Rhubarb. And for the 41st festival, we begin with
an offering. Of and for the future. With the plurality of our artists’
voices, we’re attempting to collectively conjure radical futures.
Rhubarb has always existed as a container for our wildest artistic
experiments. But, this is not futurism. There are no flying cars
here. Instead, this is a real attempt to dismantle the systems that
are as oppressive as they are governing. The artists in this year’s
festival prioritize process over product, and in doing so mutate
our notions of what art-making and art-watching can be. These
are artists who allow themselves to fail. Because where failure has
always been paramount to artistic development, the ability to fail—
within a prevailing model of scarcity—continues to be rooted in
privilege. Ultimately, this year’s festival is an experiment in density:
where ideas co-exist in psychic and physical space, where past,
present, and future collide, and where the accumulated impact
remains unknown.
It starts with an offering and it ends with an intention: that you,
as audience member, engage actively in this festival and in the
unknown and use these moments to reflect, to dialogue, and
to imagine.
Because when we collectively imagine the future, we can maybe,
just maybe, change our present.
This is Rhubarb. Welcome.
