Session #1 - Saturday Day - 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM

Session #2 - Saturday Night - 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM

Anastasia is both a heartwarming and heart-wrenching dive into one of history’s biggest unanswered questions: what happened to Grand Duchess Anastasia Romanov? Set amidst the turmoil of the Russian revolution with the Bolshevik regime on the rise, Anya, an amnesiac orphan stranded in what was once the Russian capital, St. Petersburg, is on a quest to rediscover her past which she believes lies in Paris. Joined by a dashing conman, Dmitry, and an ex-aristocrat, Vlad Popov, who want to use Anya to bamboozle the only remaining Romanov, Dowager Empress Marie into believing that Anya is the lost Anastasia, she escapes to Paris with a determined Soviet officer on their heels.*
 
Anastasia is recommended for ages 13 and up. There is some mild adult content, violence, loud noises (i.e. gunshots, explosions) and flashing lights. Viewer discretion is advised.

About Rhubarb! 46 
At Rhubarb! 46, Festival Director Ludmylla Reis has curated a series of 13 quintessentially unhinged Rhubarb! works by a mix of local and international artists, featuring everything from operatic pole dancing to Daoist meditation.
We're excited to welcome two complete international works to the festival this year in partnership with PuSh Festival: Transpophagic Manifest by Renata Carvalho (Brazil), and OUT by Ray Young (United Kingdom). 
As usual, the shows you’ll see at Rhubarb! are all "the Rhubarb versions” of these works — unique iterations of performance pieces that will never be the same again. At Rhubarb! 46, our programming features each show only once. 
Capacity is limited for the festival so get your nightly passes ASAP — this year's festival will bring unhinged intensity and an eclectic performance experience that is truly unique to the world of Rhubarb!

There is something truly captivating about JUNO Award nominee Kellie Loder. They are a passionate storyteller and accomplished songwriter with a voice that conveys warmth and power. Their unrivaled lyrical brilliance is honest and vulnerable in ways that make the music feel deeply personal. Possessing a unique ability to work a room effortlessly, they will have you crying, laughing and everything in between. It’s no wonder CBC q’s Tom Power holds Loder in such high regard stating, “If I were a betting man, I’d bet the house on Kellie Loder being the next big thing out of Newfoundland”.
