"The Ghost in the Machine" (in French, Le fantôme dans la machine) is a theatre performance staged in Montreal, Canada. It runs in the Exhibition Hall at Place des Arts, the city's large performing arts complex in the downtown core, for a set period from 28 October to 28 November 2026.
What kind of visit it makes
This is an evening at the theatre rather than a sightseeing stop. It suits visitors who want to see a live production during their stay in Montreal, and it sits comfortably alongside a wider exploration of the city's cultural life. Because the run is limited to about a month, planning around those dates is the main consideration.
