TD Amplify Cabarets
If you know, you know.
Venture down to the Engineered Air Theatre for the uncategorizable, underground hit series from Arts Commons Presents, the TD Amplify Cabarets. Now in its fifth season, this collection of cabarets will once again feature local artists in conversation with the most pressing cultural, artistic, and social conversations of today, all of whom are season participants in the Arts Commons TD Incubator program.
In 2022-23, the cabarets are curated and hosted by this season’s Incubator Fellows: the duo behind the Polaris Prize-nominated, Calgary-based hip-hop phenom Sargeant x Comrade and co-founders of Mo Gravy Records, Yolanda Sargeant and Evgeniy “Comrade” Bykovets.
See below for details on this season of TD Amplify Cabarets, featuring an all-new retro-futuristic variety show format.
"They are all similar formats where we present three or four artists per segment and we give them the chance to put themselves out there, present their work and showcase what they do and have a little fun with it," - Evgeniy "Comrade" Bykovets, The Calgary Herald
