TD AMPLIFY E1
at High Performance Rodeo

Step into a world where emotion takes form and the feminine body becomes both the question and answer. TD AMPLIFY: Episode 1 unites three distinct yet intertwined forces — the emotional alt-pop spectacle of SHY FRiEND, the dark, abstract physicality of Sierra Oszust, and the genre-defying live art and contemporary drama of Murmur Theatre's Rita Rebetskaya and Polina Káulio.

Woyzeck

A haunting tale of a soldier pushed to the edge, Woyzeck is a raw, fragmented portrait of oppression, madness, and human vulnerability. Based on Georg Büchner’s unfinished masterpiece, this performance confronts the brutality of class, the fragility of the mind, and the desperation for dignity in a world without mercy.

ABOUT

MurMur Theatre is an independent theatre company founded by artists in Calgary. We create visually expressive, body-oriented performances at the intersection of physical theatre, contemporary drama, and live art.

Rooted in experimentation, presence, and emotional resonance, our work draws inspiration from European modern theatre. We favour movement, metaphor, and minimalism over spectacle. Each project is a meticulously crafted inquiry into perception, memory, and the unspoken.
