They have announced seven shows taking place at the venue from January to June, 2022. The information on tickets can be found at the Dekker Centre website at.

Motus O- The Prisoner of Tehran - Feb. 15, 7:30 p.m., $30 plus GST.

Prisoner of Tehran, based on the book of the same name, is a collaboration between Iranian born writer/speaker Marina Nemat and MOTUS O. This performance piece is a synthesis of theatre, video and storytelling that swims in a landscape of movement brushing the themes of oppression, persecution, survival and most of all hope.

After the Islamic Revolution of 1979, Marina was arrested at the age of 16 and spent more than two years in Evin, a political prison in Tehran, where she was tortured and came close to execution. She came to Canada in 1991 and has called it home ever since. Marina's book Prisoner of Tehran has been published in 28 other countries and is an international best seller.

Tebey- Shotgun Rider Tour - Feb. 24, 7:30 p.m., $47 plus GST.

iskwÄ“ - March 4, 7:30 p.m., $30 plus GST.

She is, among many other things, a Juno award winning artist, a creator and communicator of music and of movement, of pictures, poetry and prose. And through it all, she’s a teller of stories that have impacted our past and will inform our future. Her message is impactful when delivered from the stage, where it’s not uncommon for people to leave in entranced contemplation or even in tears. Her music merges with dance, multimedia and more in a completely engulfing and cathartic experience, meant to bring people together and celebrate that which unites over that which divides us. Sponsored by North West College.

Blue Moon Marquee - March 12, 7:30 p.m., $25 plus GST.

Bromance - May 1, 7:30 p.m., $37 plus GST.

BROMANCE is a show with relationships at its heart, where handshakes become handstands and backslaps become backflips. Audacious, touching exhilarating and with a great soundtrack, this is a tour-de-force of cutting-edge physical heroics, wittily exploring male companionship and its limits.

Barely Methodical Troupe is an experimental acrobatic circus company. Fusing Hand-to-Hand and Cyr wheel with parkour, b-boying, tricking and contemporary dance giving a fresh perspective on the material they create.

One Man Star Wars - May 10, 7:30 p.m., $25 plus GST.
