World Premiere
Enter the spellbinding world of Pu Songling, the visionary writer whose tales of the supernatural have captivated audiences for centuries. Now, in a striking new adaptation, internationally celebrated Theatre Smith-Gilmour (Metamorphoses 2023) brings these timeless fables to life.
By turns whimsical and spine-tingling, this dynamic production captures the spirit of a literary master whose work touches on timeless themes that bind us across generations.
One of Canada’s most enduring theatre companies, Theatre Smith-Gilmour has long been a touchstone for daring and essential storytelling. Pu Songling: Strange Tales reaffirms their reputation for fearless, boundary-pushing work — where theatricality reigns and the extraordinary occurs in every moment.
“Truth and illusion are woven together – and who can say which is which.”
Pu Songling, Liozhai Zhiyi (Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio)“[Theatre Smith-Gilmour] have been producing thought-provoking movement based work that challenges the status quo for 42 years and have done it brilliantly”
