With shows hailing from Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, Charlottetown, Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg and Dublin, the 2018 program features 17 artists that push the boundaries of performance styles.
“UNO Fest pushes boundaries and reimagines the possibilities of what solo performance can be – and this year’s festival is no exception,” said Intrepid Theatre’s Executive Director, Heather Lindsay.
From a classical piano concert turned comedy show to a feminist re-visioning of James Bond through a mash-up of dance and storytelling, an immense amount of creativity will be on display.
