At a quick glance, the Solar System appears pristine, calm, and orderly. The celestial bodies of the Solar System execute their motions with grace and precision, and have done so billions of times for billions of years, and will do so for billions of years to come. However, hidden just below the surface is evidence of the Solar System’s history of tremendous chaos and violence. From (quite literally) Earth-shattering impacts to collisions powerful enough to reverse an entire planet’s rotation, we will peer into the distant past to see the many violent events that led to the Solar System that we know today.

Albert Lee

Two sonic alchemists sharing alt-pop and indie-jazz/R&B musings about relationships and modern love.When Ness Nöst and SIESKI first wrote together, they realized they shared the same ache: miscommunication, almost-love, and the charged space between what we feel and what we dare to say.Ness brings indie-jazz/R&B warmth and slow-burn storytelling. SIESKI pulls you in with alluring vocals and ethereal, alt-pop melodies. Together, they collide in a lush, sonic world- part celestial, part confessional.Their Burdock set blends both worlds: powerhouse vocals, evocative lyrics, and a new collab about the hardships of loving someone inaccessible.Emotional, textural, darkly funny at times. Expect rich harmonies, immersive soundscapes, and two artists saying what often goes unsaid.Ness NöstNess Nost is a nomadic artist and producer splitting her life between the wild stillness of rural Ontario and the electric chaos of the city (Toronto.)Her songs are built in a converted barn, where she produces genre-bending soundscapes that blur indie folk, alt-R&B, jazz, and experimental electronics into something intimate and volatile. Her work reflects the two worlds she moves through: storms of city noise against wide-open quiet, and her writing digs into identity, womanhood, desire, and the parts of ourselves we don’t always say out loud.On stage she moves between her Casino guitar and AKAI MPC, carrying her restless, shape-shifting sound across Canada and recently to Japan as she enters a new era of bold, expansive production. Nost’s songs have been heard on CBC Radio, London SOHO Radio, in Exclaim! And RANGE Magazine.
Instagram / Facebook / Website / TikTokSIESKICaught between the body’s truth and the mind’s wonder, SIESKI’s music reflects her inner world — deeply evocative and sensory, curious and intuitive, alive with imaginative charm. A queer theatre artist turned alt-pop siren, her alluring vocals and melodies absorb the listener in what Earmilk calls “an auditory odyssey that heightens your senses and leaves you with an insatiable craving for more.”She is currently crafting her debut album Pixie, a body of work exploring sensitivity, connection, and the shifting landscapes of relationships. From the alt-pop panic of Coffee, to the unraveling tenderness of Untethered, to the soulful intimacy of her latest single Close, her releases trace an emotional journey between missing what was and embracing what is. Pixie expands this world further, weaving dreamy soundscapes with reflective storytelling rooted in queerness, vulnerability, and the soft places we land in relation to one another.Highlights include her queer-femme anthem Lady Deity (featured in the Vizzybility Project curated by Canada’s Drag Race winner Priyanka), her FACTOR-funded music video Scale Model, and features on CTV’s etalk, CBC Music’s Afterdark, Telus Optik TV’s Dandyland Series, The Georgia Straight, Women In Music’s Shatter The Glass, and Exclaim!’s The Eh! List.

In the time before the internet and before television, friends and families gathered to watch the glowing light of the radio and to listen to their weekly stories. This immersive theatre experience lets audiences see what happens behind the glowing light, as they enter a live 1940’s radio studio broadcast!
Commemorating the 100th anniversary of the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF), this production entertains with a riveting blend of live radio theatre, music, and storytelling.
Let us take you back to the golden age of radio, as five talented actors portray over thirty RCAF heroes, complete with live sound effects and music. Hosted by two-time Juno Award nominee and CRMA winner Jason Wilson, this is more than a tribute; it’s a celebration of Canadian courage brought to life through powerful storytelling.

2026 Toronto I Heart Beer Festival

by Andrew Tay + Stephen Thompson
A Toronto Dance Theatre Production in Partnership with Buddies in Bad Times Theatre
January 14 – 17, 2026$10 / $25 / $45 / $75all prices + fees
“banana” isn’t just slang — it’s a symbol of the performance, erasure, and reclamation of self.
Choreographers Andrew Tay and Stephen Thompson are the co-creators of Make Banana Cry, a genre-defying work merging runway aesthetics with contemporary performance and dance. 
In an attempt to shake off the weight of representation and fetishization, an international cast of six East Asian artists critique, parody, and protest stereotypes of “Asian-ness.” Slipping between the codes of couture and contemporary art, straddling spectacles of consumption and entertainment, Make Banana Cry is an impressive demonstration of physicality, an unrelenting examination of Western xenophobia, and an ingenious show of humour and wit.  Presented for the first time in Toronto after critically acclaimed performances at Impulstanz (Vienna), Portland Institute of Contemporary Art and Festival TransAmériques (Montreal).

About Toronto Dance TheatreToronto Dance Theatre (TDT) is an iconic name within the Canadian dance landscape. Founded in 1968, the company was instrumental in ushering a new era of modern dance to Toronto and national audiences. Today, under the leadership of Artistic Director of Andrew Tay, TDT is recognized for the important role it plays as an incubator of boundary pushing dance and performance practices: supporting works that resist categorization, challenge the status quo, and redefine possibilities for the field. The company frames programming in the context of relevant societal issues and champions underrepresented voices in all its mainstage performances and artistic development programs.
Access note: Make Banana Cry is 60 minutes long, and seating for the show is a mix of regular, backed chairs, and tall, backless stools. If you require a chair with a back for access reasons, please let us know in the "accessibility requests" section when purchasing, and we will make sure that we have one reserved for you.

 For our third annual January Blues on Friday January 16, we present a very special guest,Samantha Martin & Delta Sugar.

Samantha, a 2-time JUNO nominee, anda 7-time female vocalist of the year nominee at Canada’s Maple Blues Awards, is a powerfulvocalist with a soulful voice that could pierce the depths of emotion.
A household name in Canada’s blues and retro-soul scene, Samantha and her label Gypsy Soul Records have beendubbed “The Daptone” of Canada. The band’s fresh and genre-bending approach to blues-based soul music is one of a kind and has even confused Rolling Stones magazine editors as tothe band’s genre. In fact, while Samantha’s latest record topped soul charts around the globe,she got a JUNO nomination in the blues category while receiving a “pick of the month” for bestcountry song from Rolling Stone Magazine.
The band released their debut album, Send the Nightingale, in 2015, which showcased theirexceptional song-writing and vocal prowess. The album received critical acclaim and garneredawards including the Maple Blues Award for New Artist of the Year. Subsequent albums, suchas Run to Me and The Reckless One, continued to build on their reputation for deliveringemotionally charged, soulful music, earning the band two JUNO Awards for Blues Album of theYear in 2018 and 2020.
In 2021, Samantha and the band earned the honour of being the firstCanadian artists to be nominated for International Artist of the Year at the 2021 UK BluesAwards. Samantha is one of two female artists ever to be awarded CIMA’s Road Gold award forselling over 25,000 tickets over any 12 month period on the road. Their recording The RecklessOne stayed at #1 for 38 consecutive weeks in the US Roots Radio Charts, topped the UKIndependent Blues broadcasters charts at #1, and managed to sneak into the Billboard Top200. We are excited to welcome a new generation of blues legends to the Hugh’s Room Stage.

Welcome to Toronto, a city where skyscrapers touch the sky and breathtaking lake views await! Indulge in the diverse food scene where poutine and sushi become the perfect pair. Take your bravery to new heights at the iconic CN Tower and soak up the vibrant entertainment in downtown.

Bienvenue à Toronto, où la devise non officielle de la ville est "Désolé, pas désolé", alors que les habitants jonglent avec la lutte quotidienne de se précipiter au travail tout en renversant leur café double-double de chez Tim Hortons sur eux-mêmes. Découvrez le phénomène magique de la capacité des Torontoniens à se plaindre à la fois de la chaleur écrasante et du froid glacial dans la même semaine, mettant en valeur leur remarquable talent pour les doléances liées aux conditions météorologiques. Et ne manquez pas le spectacle exaltant de regarder les habitants se livrer à une bataille féroce pour les sièges du tramway, où les coups de coude et les regards assassins font simplement partie du trajet quotidien.
