COLLIDE Festival
COLLIDE Festival highlights experimental art across artistic disciplines. The festival brings interdisciplinary and boundary-pushing work into a space that encourages artists to “collide” and show experiments in process.

DAY 1 - Doors at 5:30pm: MAMM Workshop / UnderCurrents Exhibition Opening / Paige Louter / Lisa Butel, Brent Cross, Jay Hirabayashi / giominz / Possibilities: Yin Guo DAY 2 - Doors at 6:30pm: Odd Meridian Arts / Constantine Katsiris / Noxious Light (Graham Christofferson, Candelario Andrade) / Echoradia / SlowPitchSound DAY 3 - Doors at 11:30am: Pancake Noise Breakfast + Merch Swap / Crow Moon (Heather McDermid, Dan Kibke) ALL 3 DAYS: Artworks / installations by Kaila Bhullar, and Paul Wong, Whess Harman, Anju Singh, Roxanne Nesbitt as part of the UnderCurrents project No one turned away due to lack of funds - get in touch if you need a more affordable option ([email protected]).

Morag, You're A Long Time Deid
By Claire Love Wilson & Peter Lorenz
June 9 -19, 2022
The Russian Hall
Morag’s death left a silence in her place. When her grand-daughter Sam inherits her piano, she also inherits the mystery of Morag’s story. An intimate letter composed of fragmented Scottish ballads leads Sam to uncover Morag’s possible queerness. In piecing together Morag’s history through their shared Scottish musical heritage, Sam discovers a voice of her own.
This new experimental musical warps, disrupts, and reconfigures traditional Scottish storytelling, ballad singing and participatory community dance. Reimagining ceilidh theatre from a queer perspective, original compositions are playfully interwoven with electronic loops and interactive dancing to tell old stories anew.
Visit Touchstone Theatre for more details and to purchase tickets.
