Metis artist Jeanette Kotowich’s is bringing the production Kisiskâciwan to Edmonton, March 15 & 16 at the Nancy Power Theatre at Theatre Network (10708 124 street).
A creative return to the fast-flowing landscape of Saskatchewan, the robust and undulating land of Jeanette’s great-grandmothers and great-great-grandfathers, Kisiskâciwan is a journey to oneself. The performance reflects the Kah-tep-was (Nêhiyaw for river that calls) a two-kilometer wide, 180-meter deep valley sacred place that calls generations of peoples for gathering, hunting, and spiritual replenishment.
It speaks through dance to a Métis cultural narrative of identity and home. The piece also features live fiddle by special guest artist Kathleen Nisbet.
