More good things happening at CANSTAGE for its upcoming indoor season. From the press release I received:

SOLARIS (Canadian Premiere)
A Canadian Stage production

January 25 – February 5, 2022, at the Bluma Appel Theatre

A new play by David Greig

 MIIGIS
A Red Sky Performance production presented by Canadian Stage
January 29 – February 6, 2022 at the Marilyn and Charles Baillie Theatre

At the forefront of Indigenous performance in Canada and worldwide, Red Sky Performance delivers explosive original work that expands and elevates the ecology of contemporary Indigenous arts and culture.
 

Miigis reveals the power of nature and Indigenous prophecy. In Anishnaabe culture, the miigis shell represents the “the perfect breath” of life that informs the origin story of our passage from the Atlantic Coast to the Great Lakes. Fusing contemporary Indigenous dance with athleticism in an extraordinary form, Miigis explores the catalysts for movement, memory, water trade routes, ancestral forces, and the cycle of life.

IN MY BODY
