The Performers:

  • Birdbone Theatre makes puppet shows from scratch and plays them live for the young and the old. We strive to make puppet theatre that might become a house for beauty, for remembering old songs and stories, for wild imaginings and for laughter in hard times. The Song House Cabaret will feature Minion and Meatpaw from Birdbone’s One Thing At A Time Hunger Show (puppeteered by Aleksandra Bragoszewska).

    Birdbone Theatre can be found on Instagram and Facebook.

  • Chanter la Pomme, featuring Alison Gowan (QC) and Jan Le Clair (ON), blends the drone-based timbres of hurdy gurdy and accordion to create dynamic interpretations of traditional and neo trad dance music and songs from Central Europe and beyond. Formerly members of Swamp Ward Orchestra, Jan and Alison draw on a wide variety of musical influences, from classical to Klezmer. janleclairaccordion.com/chanter-la-pomme

  • Ekaterina’s devotion to the music of Balkan, East Slavic, and Near East Cultures can be heard in her ensembles BLISK and Meden Glas. Her love for braiding traditional elements with alternative music are found in her work with folk metal group Protokult and Russian folk-rock band Katüsha. She is based in Toronto. www.ekatmusic.art

  • The Lindworm’s Cabaret is an original work of musical theatre by Haley Sarfeld. A three-song excerpt will be sung by Alison Gowan, Haley Sarfeld, and Rogan Gowan, with accompaniment by the House Band.

    The Lindworm can be found where you least expect it. A video excerpt from the Lindworm’s Cabaret (Watershed Festival, 2023) is available on YouTube. Haley sometimes posts about this and other projects on Instagram.

  • After years of musical silence, Time Victim was created to acknowledge the loss of voice, the journey to find it, and the courage to let it out.

    Time Victim can be found on Instagram and Facebook.

  • The Song House Cabaret Band includes Alison Gowan (bass/hurdy gurdy), Jan Le Clair (accordion), Laura Murray (cello), Christos Smirnios (percussion), and Rogan Gowan (piano/saxophone). Many of the tunes the house band will be playing come from their previous lives as Swamp Ward Orchestra.
