The Awakening is a science fiction musical comedy that’s funny, moving, and deeply human. When Ellie, a young widow, finds her solitude disrupted by the arrival of two beings from another world, she’s drawn into a mission that is as absurd as it is life changing. Blending humour, emotion, and inner awakening, the show takes audiences on an unexpected journey through grief, love, and renewal.

ALEXANDRE DIACONU
I wrote The Awakening because something shifted inside of me. I suddenly realized that there is more to us than what we are led to believe. Who are we really? Why are we here? What are we really capable of manifesting? What happens with us after we die? What is time and space? What is grief? What is most important in life? What is life? These are all questions that The Awakening not only asks, but also answers, in its own joyous, musical and positive pace. It's also my first comedy and I'm so eager to share it with you, through an evening of laughter, nostalgia, tears, of all kind, and uplifting hope.
I somehow feel that I've always known certain things, from before I was born and that I'm just starting to remember who I really am: a being of light. I only hope that this show will awake you as well to the beauty of the universe, our purpose here on Earth and most importantly to the vital importance of love.
Don't miss this awakening! You won't regret it!
