Repercussion Theatre Proudly Presented:

Blending circus arts with street entertainment, The Festival of Fools is a festive experience full of zany characters and non-stop action. Our tribe of performers masquerade as members of an ancient canadian clan. They will captivate you with the fantastical legend of their ancestors. Be prepared to share in the magical mysticism that is the Festival of Fools. The fun begins one hour before the curtain rises on Twelfth Night:

The mythical land of Illyria is the setting for this classic tale of love, deception and trickery. Immerse yourself in this surreal world of enchanting characters where illusion and fantasy intertwine. But be careful! Things are not quite what they seem…

Repercussion Theatre adds a new twist to Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night. We will surround you in music, cloak you in a fairy tale and bedazzle you with a version of Twelfth Night unlike any you’ve ever experienced before!

by William Shakespeare

The Festival of Fools was meant to tour June 30 – September 19, 2001 all across North America. The last stretch of the tour was cancelled due to the events of 9/11.
