SUMMARY:Carbon Arc: Nadja (4k Restoration)
DESCRIPTION:Vampire Nadja launches a feud against her father Dracula’s murderer\, starting with seducing his daughter. A shimmering restoration of a cult gem brought to you by Carbon Arc Cinema! \n“We have an allergy to sunlight. My whole family.” Merging elements from Dracula’s Daughter (1936) with André Breton’s surrealist novel Nadja (1928)\, and fusing shimmering black-and-white 35mm with hallucinatory Pixelvision video\, Michael Almereyda’s acclaimed cult film centers on New York-based vampire Nadja (Elina Löwensohn) as she draws close to her twin brother Edgar (Jared Harris) following their father’s death at the hands of Dr. Van Helsing (Peter Fonda). Edgar’s private nurse (Suzy Amis)\, Van Helsing’s nephew Jim (Martin Donovan)\, and Jim’s wife (Galaxy Craze) are entangled in the story as the vampire killer pursues “the fiend” from Manhattan to Transylvania. \nExecutive produced by David Lynch\, this original director’s cut of Nadja was digitally from the only extant element\, the 35mm answer print. Director Almereyda on the birth of Nadja: “David and Mary understood that the movie\, following Breton’s lead\, was intended as a kind of collage\, in the tradition of a surrealist exquisite corpse\, though we were equally indebted to Roger Corman\, shooting fast and cheap and fitting the story into just a few locations. Low as the budget was\, investors faded out when we lost a particular cast member a few weeks away from our start date\, and David bravely decided to pay for the film out of his own pocket—an act of generosity that still startles me.”

SUMMARY:Queendom Film Screening
DESCRIPTION:Free Admission | Registration Required (Link to register here) \nFilm in Russian with English subtitles \nJoin us for a special screening of the acclaimed documentary Queendom\, presented by the Russian Canadian Democratic Alliance (RCDA). First time in Halifax! \nGena\, a queer artist from a small town in Russia\, stages radical performances in public that become a new form of art and activism – and put her life in danger. \nIn bold defiance of Russia’s anti-LGBTQ laws\, Gena Marvin\, a queer 21-year-old performance artist\, transforms the streets of Moscow into surreal and radical public art. Her performances are a striking fusion of self-expression and protest – risking arrest\, violence\, and exile. \nQueendom (an SXSW Official Selection) follows Gena’s journey from a small Russian town to the center of international queer resistance. \nThis screening celebrates queer creativity\, courage\, and defiance around the world – and stands in solidarity with those fighting for freedom under repression.

SUMMARY:Mayworks presents Be Eternal
DESCRIPTION:Taking its name from the final line of Common’s acclaimed 2005 album\, Be Eternal explores black male mortality\, particularly of musicians\, and the normalization of this in modern society. Led by local saxophonist Jackson Fairfax-Perry\, this ensemble brings together 5 local improvising musicians with roots connecting to the African diaspora. Exploring both spontaneous and written compositions\, Be Eternal asks how can we move past this mindset that black men die young? That this is just how it is? How can we honour the artists who came before us\, while also giving flowers to the ones who are still with us? This music is raw and mournful\, but it is also filled with joy and hope\, brimming with the power of our ancestors. This is a celebration of our black musical lineage. \nPersonnel:\nJackson Fairfax-Perry – Saxophones \nAndrew Jackson – Trombone \nLance Sampson – Voice \nShuvanjan Karmakar – Bass \nJoshua Awe – Drums \n  \n$10 in advance and $15 at the door.\n**Ticket includes admission to AND SO WE DANCE**

SUMMARY:Mayworks presents Found in Translation/Trouvé dans la traduction
DESCRIPTION:Found in Translation is an interactive performance in which small objects are translated into movement\, drawing\, and poetry through a series of playful transformations. Audience members are invited to join with performers to uncover illuminating potentials in the things that surround us. \nFound in Translation originated as part of Eastern Front Theatre’s Macro Digitals: CONNECTIONS under the guidance of Kat McCormack\, with collaborators Katie Clarke\, Breton Lalama\, Logan Robins\, Gillian Seaward-Boone and Rebecca Wolfe. \nFound in Translation is an interactive performance that transforms small objects into movement\, drawing\, and poetry through a kind of artistic “assembly line.” Six performers take part at a time\, rotating through all of the roles: hosting\, describing\, drawing\, dancing\, typing poems\, and reading them aloud. Crucially\, the “machine” is always activated by audience participation. An audience member begins each round by arranging objects\, and at the end of the cycle\, they receive the poem that was generated and read out specifically for them – an artistic “gift” created through the collective process. \nEnsemble:\n-Jacinte Armstrong\n-Micaela Comeau\n-Françoise Labelle\n-Susan Leblanc\n-Zya Langdon-Quarmyne\n-Liliona Quarmyne\n-Mila Samarani​​​​​​​​​​\n-Dawn Shepherd\n-Winnie Sherwood-Steele\n-Geneviève Steele\n-Nadine Sures \n  \nTrouvé dans la traduction est une performance interactive où de petits objets se transforment en mouvements\, dessins et poèmes grâce à une série de métamorphoses ludiques. Le public est invité à se joindre aux artistes pour découvrir le potentiel insoupçonné des objets qui nous entourent. \nCette pièce a été créée en 2022 avec les membres de la distribution originale Jacinte Armstrong\, Katie Clarke\, Breton Lalama\, Logan Robbins\, Gillian Seaward-Boone et Rebecca Wolfe\, avec la dramaturge Kat MacCormack\, et produite par Eastern Front Theatre\, Dartmouth\, NS. \nTrouvé dans la traduction est une performance interactive qui transforme de petits objets en mouvement\, dessin et poésie grâce à une sorte de « chaîne de montage » artistique. Six performeurs participent simultanément\, endossant tour à tour tous les rôles : présenter\, décrire\, dessiner\, danser\, taper des poèmes et les lire à voix haute. Point essentiel\, la « machine » est toujours activée par la participation du public. Un spectateur initie chaque cycle en disposant des objets\, et à la fin\, il reçoit le poème créé et lu spécialement pour lui – un « cadeau » artistique né de ce processus collectif.

SUMMARY:Mayworks presents Am I Ovary-Acting?
DESCRIPTION:Am I Ovary-Acting? is a work by LunaSea Theatre about reproductive justice that examines commonly held beliefs about health and medical care for those with ovaries/uteruses/vaginas. Through comedy\, storytelling\, rage and disbelief we explore reproductive health and justice through relevant objects. At Mayworks\, our focus will be the history\, uses and misuses of the speculum. This 50 minute show is part ted-talk\, part conversation\, part storytelling. When it comes to health and reproductive justice the political and social landscape right now is rife with misinformation\, disinformation and half-truths.  We are here to press against that tide with nuanced conversation and evidence-based information in a fun\, curious\, theatrical way. \nCredits:\nCreated and performed by Kathleen Dorian and Ailsa Galbreath \nResearch by Claire Horn

SUMMARY:Elevator Theatre presents Spring Awakening
DESCRIPTION:Spring Awakening – October 8-25\,2026 \nSpring Awakening is a groundbreaking rock musical about a group of young people coming of age in a world that refuses to speak openly about desire\, identity\, and fear. Set in late 19th century Germany but driven by a contemporary pulse\, this 8-time Tony Award-winning musical explores the collision between youthful longing and rigid authority.  With a propulsive\, emotionally charged score\, Spring Awakening fuses folk-inspired rock with fearless storytelling. Urgent\, intimate\, and unflinching\, it captures the intensity of adolescence\, the cost of silence\, and the power that comes from finally being heard. \n  \nContent Warning: Spring Awakening contains mature and potentially distressing content\, including sexual content\, sexual violence\, abortion\, suicide\, self-harm\, physical abuse\, strong language\, and themes of grief\, trauma\, repression\, and adolescent mental health. Viewer discretion is advised. \n  \nSpring Awakening Performance Dates and Times \nOctober 8\, 2026 at 7:30 p.m. (Opening) \nOctober 9\, 2026 at 7:30 p.m. \nOctober 10\, 2026 at 7:30 p.m. \nOctober 11\, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. \nOctober 12\, 2026 at 7:30 p.m. (Industry Night) \nOctober 14\, 2026 at 7:30 p.m. \nOctober 15\, 2026 at 7:30 p.m. \nOctober 16\, 2026 at 7:30 p.m. \nOctober 17\, 2026 at 7:30 p.m. \nOctober 18\, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. \nOctober 21\, 2026 at 7:30 p.m. \nOctober 22\, 2026 at 7:30 p.m. \nOctober 23\, 2026 at 7:30 p.m. \nOctober 24\, 2026 at 7:30 p.m. \nOctober 25\, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. (Closing)
