UNSPUN THEATRE makes performances that explore our relationships: to each other, to the material things we hold dear, to our memories and to our futures. These performances act as testing grounds and proposals for ways that we can be together and create together.
The Haunting returned for another sold-out run in April. Part ghost story, part séance, this one-to-one encounter invited audiences to make the invisible visible.

We were thrilled to bring Lost Together to Montreal as part of OFFTA 2023. We performed for almost fifty hours over the course of ten days at Le Livart.
In All The Things I’ve Lost, Shira Leuchter revisited significant objects that were lost throughout her life, alongside her mother, a ceramist, who reinvented, recreated, and honoured those lost childhood objects by re-making them out of clay. An exhibit and performance piece, All The Things I’ve Lost questioned how physical objects hold memories and how we pass on stories from generation to generation through the things we have kept and preserved. There were seven performances, as well as audio and artifacts that allowed visitors to experience the project as an exhibition.
