The Ensemble
AfriCan Theatre Ensemble recognizes the power of live art to inspire and renew the human spirit and to forge human relationships across cultures, creeds, ethnicities, ideologies, genders, and social classes.
To that end, our work presents the different theatrical idioms, traditions and experiences of Africa and in so doing creates an avenue for cultural exchange between Africa and Canada.

Current Season
A play by Biyi Bandele, directed by Jude Idada
The AfriCan Theatre Ensemble presents, Brixton Stories. Brixton Stories is a play about the short and happy life of Ossie Jones. It is a dramatic journey into the world of magical realism. It tells the story of a father's reunion with his daughter after coming out of a fifteen year long coma. With the use of dance, music and quintessential acting it explores the thin line between reality and fantasy even as it provides an exposé of the normal goings on in the neighbourhood known as Brixton which is located in South London England. With the aid of metaphor, allegory, mime, pulsating lighting and a live disc jockey Brixton Stories provides a scintillating spectacle that will leave the viewer calling out for an encore.
