Winter Moons
Legends, star stories, and contemporary dance celebrating ancestral survival through winter
NOVEMBER 12 - 24, 2024
Story by shalan joudry Choreography by Sarah Prosper Directed by shalan joudry
Produced by Nestuita'si Storytelling
Presented in Partnership with Prismatic Arts Festival
Directed by shalan joudry (Koqm), this dance theatre piece follows the teachings of L'nu (Mi'kmaw) fire keepers carrying an ember through the winter season - three moons of winter. Legends, star stories, and contemporary dance expresses the harsh realities of living off the land in a long ago Mi'kma'ki winter. If the group was able to keep the ember going until the Spring Equinox, there is a celebration to honour them and the return of spring.
The premiere of Winter Moons brings together a diversity of Mi'kmaw talent to the stage.
