Possessions by Kevin Land

Possessions is a play inspired by Felicitas Goodman's book The Exorcism of Anneliese Michel; the book upon which the film The Exorcism of Emily Rose was loosely based. This is the true story of a young woman who died following a Vatican approved exorcism to rid her of demons. Land's interpretation of the events has produced a very human account of good intentions gone horribly wrong. This play was work-shopped at Ontario's famous Stratford Festival, and this is a Western Canada premiere. Click here for Possessions press release

2007 marks the Twentieth Anniversary of Theatre Inconnu as a regular contributor to the local Victoria arts community. With only 50 seats, we provide an informal atmosphere, reminiscent of the pocket theatres found throughout Europe.

Theatre Inconnu has the distinction of being Victoria's longest regular producing small alternative theatre company. The troupe has been producing regular seasons of theatre in Victoria since 1987. Standing ovations and sell-out crowds are common occurrences, as the company continues to offer some of the most exciting theatre in town.

Theatre Inconnu's mandate has always been to produce quality plays in an intimate atmosphere; offering audiences a wide selection from the world theatre repertoire. During the past two decades, we have produced over 70 plays, ranging from the ancient Greeks to world premieres of both international and Canadian plays (and everything in between).
