Following the latest COVID-19 advisory by the Government of Saskatchewan, we regret that the run of Louis Riel: A Comic Strip Stage Play has been cancelled.
RustWerk ReFinery brings audiences a live-action puppet version of Chester Brown’s seminal work, Louis Riel: A Comic-Strip Biography. A salute to Brown’s artistry, RustWerk’s puppets are remarkably evocative. This epic tale steams through early Canadian history with an intrepid and irreverent look at some of our nation’s founders: part adventure story, part history lesson, and a completely fascinating theatrical event.

Sarah Deshaies, Cult Montreal…Louis Riel: A Comic-Strip Stage Play is a haunting yet funny look at a man whose life continues to defy lazy hagiography, popping out of our country’s history with colour and passion in the 130 years since he walked to the gallows.
