Saint Stella makes art that excavates buried stories and returns them to the people, loudly and joyfully.

Saint Stella, Toronto multidisciplinary performer, producer and theatre artist
The Artist

Producer. Performer. Creator.

Saint Stella is a Toronto-based performer, producer, and multidisciplinary theatre artist. Their work has lived at the intersection of dance, theatre, burlesque, and visual art for over two decades.

Stella has produced three consecutive sold-out Toronto Fringe productions; Lysistrata, Carmilla, and Mayhem at Miskatonic. Each production combines movement, text, and contemporary cabaret into a unified theatrical experience. She has performed twice at the Burlesque Hall of Fame, received an Emerging Queer Artist Award from Buddies in Bad Times Theatre, and a Rainbow Community Arts Grant.

Stella's education is in visual art — BFA Photography, Toronto Metropolitan University. Her work is a combination of her education in visual art and storytelling expressed through the body of a dancer. Stella is interested in examining how images and bodies occupy space, and how power and sensuality moves through a room.

★ Edinburgh Fringe Festival  ·  August 2026

Louise:
The Last Dance

Paris, 1928. This is Louise Weber: the woman who invented the cancan, seduced princes and made the Moulin Rouge famous. Toulouse-Lautrec painted her. Journalists destroyed her. Nobody let her speak. Until now.

Press & Reviews

What they're saying

"St. Stella wows as the leading lady, managing her team of wild women with exasperation every woman can relate to, and a coy confidence most of us dream of having."

Mooney on Theatre — Lysistrata

"The sleeper hit of the festival, this bawdy adaptation of Aristophanes' classic play used burlesque and humour to dazzle and entertain audience members at The Painted Lady."

Broadway World — Lysistrata, Toronto Fringe

"(Stella) stuns with a burlesque performance that questions our use of the earth and what we refuse to accept or reveal. Her number is the crux of the Masque of the Red Death as the tease and glee become commentary and critique."

Drew Rowsome — Masque of the Red Death

"Deeply poignant... intimately human and historically expansive."
