Catalyst Theatre’s award-winning musical tour-de-force is now on screen - for one night only!
France, 1940. After months of training and successful assignments, seven exceptional female SOEs (Special Operative Executives) are dropped into their most dangerous mission to date. Risking their lives for the fate of the nation, The Invisible embark on perilous missions of sabotage, propaganda, and espionage — helping to bring down the greatest threat of their time, only to go completely unseen.
Inspired by the stories of real life female SOE’s, this genre-busting mash-up of historical research, film-noir, graphic novels, and musical theatre is a contemporary portrait of brave women who risked it all to fight during WWII – only to find themselves betrayed by the very world they believed they were fighting for.
Having played in theatres across Canada, The Invisible has been stunningly captured on film, allowing audiences to experience the show like never before. Filmed at Vancouver’s historic York Theatre in 2022, The Invisible: On Film will make you fall all in love all over again (or for the first time) with this unforgettable musical adventure.
Renowned for innovative works through the use of evocative music, haunting sound, poetic text, dynamic choreography and stunning & surreal design, Catalyst Theatre embark on their first filmed production with The Invisible. Take part in this milestone event that will thrill history buffs, music lovers, and theatre enthusiasts alike.
“Poetic and powerful … an immensely entertaining musical.” - Edmonton Journal
“This show takes a dash of Captain America, a dollop of Agent Carter, and a fistful of Wonder Woman, and adds the sensibility of Bob Fosse.” - The Globe & Mail
