The Forbidden Phoenix was premiered by the Citadel Theatre in October 2008 in partnership with the Lorraine Kimsa Theatre for Young People

Martial arts meets Peking Opera! We invite you to enter an opulent, often comical world that allegorically brings to life the powerful tale of a father and son separated by the building of the railway in Western Canada. Stunning costumes, incredible acrobatics, and a live percussive score are all elements that earned this production rave reviews. Ultimately, The Forbidden Phoenix is a poignant exploration of justice, community and authority.

“Stunningly visual and physical…combines exoticism and a powerful sense of home.”     -Edmonton Journal
