Toronto's Experimental Puppetry and Performing Objects Cabaret

Call for Artists CC #19

Back in the Basement

Call for Applications for CC #19

Performance is Sunday April 26th at 7:00pm

BSMT 245  - 254 Lansdowne Ave, Toronto

 

SOUNDS FROM THE UNDERGROUND. Puppet shows for the dark muddy murmurs of your soul. Tonight, we celebrate the thoughts of worms and voles as we all awaken from the thaw. Old and new object-performers: bring your mulch, bring your resistance, bring your memories of grimy punk shows, your half-finished ideas, your mirky swirly narratives! We will revel in THE UNDERGROUND.

​

If you’ve been curious about Concrete Cabaret before, but unsure if you could pull something together, we really hope that this is the time for you!

**Applications Due March 20th 2026 at Midnight **

​

What we’re looking for:

​

We prioritize performances and acts that challenge theatrical norms and our understanding of objects and inanimacy, as well as projects and people telling stories pertinent to, and underrepresented in, today’s political and social climate. Low-tech and short-form pieces fit our cabaret best—performances ranging from 3-10 minutes with minimal setup and tech are preferred. All performers are paid a modest honorarium and will be provided with a free meal before or during the performance.
