Winner of the 2026 Toronto Fringe New Play Contest, Danse Macabre, an electrifying Caribbean theatrical work by acclaimed playwright Rhoma Spencer, arrives at a moment when Canadian stages are ready—if not overdue—for a story of this depth and urgency.

Rooted in the vibrant, complex world of Carnival, Danse Macabre goes beyond spectacle to explore the powerful intersection of culture, Queer identity, and resistance. It offers a bold, unflinching examination of the history and politics of anti-Black racism, woven into the lived experience of ‘playing mas.’

This is theatre that speaks to both heart and history.

Running from July 3rd - July 12th, at Tarragon Theatre Mainspace, it's not to be missed!
