Cicadas Created by David Yee and Chris Thornborrow - A revival of the National Arts Centre and Tarragon Theatre production playing at Grand Theatre -Spriet Stage from January 19, 2027, to February 6, 2027, in London Ontario.
What if your house had a mind of its own? An eerie eco-thriller that hits close to home.
It’s 2035, and an investigation into the mysterious disappearance of a young girl leads to an old, mysterious house that seems to be sinking into the earth. A flood with no leak, walls consumed by long-extinct botanicals, and hordes of cicadas are only a few of the odd occurrences seeping up through the old floorboards.
In partnership with the National Arts Centre English Theatre and Tarragon Theatre, this world premiere is an eco-thriller fully scored with a live orchestra - that imagines a gripping, immersive future reality, illuminating our profound connection to nature without laying blame.
Created by Siminovitch laureate and Governor General’s Award-winner, David Yee, scored by Dora Award-winning composer Chris Thornborrow, and directed by none other than the National Arts Centre English Theatre Artistic Director, Nina Lee Aquino.
