A Fun, Appealing Story
William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream is one of his most beloved comedies. Four Athenians find themselves in a forest inhabited by fairies who manipulate the humans and are engaged in their own domestic intrigue. It is a lighthearted, humourous and fun tale of love and, often misguided, magic set in motion by the mischievous trickster Puck. The ballet adaptation is set to Mendelssohn’s 1827 concert overture and 1843 instrumental score which includes the famous “Wedding March.”
Ballet: A Canadian Way
Bengt Jörgen will bring this story to life in his own original ballet version as a tribute to Canada’s North. Ballet Jörgen’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream will bring out the magic of Northern Canada’s woodland and tundra landscapes and creatures of the forest such as moose, beavers, bears, and squirrels. In addition to our professional dancers, each performance will include up to 10 age-appropriate roles for local young
aspiring dancers, ages 9 to 17, through Ballet Jörgen’s Local Participant Program.
Built for our Audience and Communities
This family-friendly short ballet will captivate audiences of all ages and will warm the hearts of young and old alike.

Kalabanté Afrique en Cirque
2026-05-07 19:30 - 21:30 | Imperial Theatre, 12 King Square South, Saint John, Canada
Kalabanté Productions was created by Yamoussa Bangoura, a multidisciplinary artist of Guinean origin. Yamoussa’s long term dream was the founding of a school of circus arts, and direct his own multidisciplinary company specializing in the African arts. As the company director he develops his own shows which over the past several years have been increasingly gathering attention and recognition in the Quebec circus arts community and worldwide. Kô Ryass, and other shows such as Kumbaya, Uno, Kira Nene and Afrique en Cirque have been created and performed worldwide. Several new projects are in development for the coming years, which will continue to disseminate and promote the values of the company.
Yamoussa first became interested in the Circus Arts as a young man growing up in Conakry Guinea in the 1990’s. He studied the circus performers he saw on European TV and practiced on the beach and dirt around his home. He also studied the Nyamakala tradition of circus, practiced by the Fula people of West Africa. He eventually joined Guinea’s original circus company, Circus Baobob. with whom he toured Africa and Europe. With this company he was able to spend time in Spain and France where he honed many of the European style circus skills.
In the early 2000’s, he was recruited to come to Canada with Cirque Eloize, a Montreal based Canadian cirque company.

Wintersleep
2026-05-09 19:30 - 22:00 | Imperial Theatre, 12 King Square South, Saint John, Canada
Emerging from Halifax, Wintersleep has been quietly reshaping the contours of modern rock since their inception in 2001. Anchored by the evocative baritone of frontman Paul Murphy, alongside Loel Campbell’s hypnotic, propulsive drumming and Tim D’Eon’s shimmering guitar and piano work, the band conjures a sonic atmosphere that feels both vast and intimate. Their catalog, anchored by critically celebrated albums Untitled, Welcome to the Night Sky, Hello Hum, The Great Detachment and In the Land Of, occupies a distinct place in the Canadian indie rock canon, praised for its deft balance of haunting lyricism and cinematic grandeur.
In 2025, Wintersleep brings with them a promise of immersive live performances—equal parts raw emotional catharsis and meticulously constructed sonic atmospheres. Longtime fans and new listeners alike will be drawn into the band’s enveloping soundscapes, where intimate confessions collide with epic swells of sound.
