A Soldier’s Tale probes the lives of soldiers over the span of fifty years. With music by John Gzowski and written by Tara Beagan, Artistic Director of Native Earth Performing Arts, this world premiere examines the aftermath of war on the soldiers who wage it and their families who survive its consequences with them. A Soldier’s Tale is commissioned by the Canada Dance Festival and the National Arts Centre.

Carrying a Collective Burden

Bearing is a dance opera co-created by Yvette Nolan, Michael Greyeyes and a cast of dancers, actors, singers and musicians, that will become a vital piece of Canadian theatre. Working with the idea that every Canadian has been in some way impacted by the disgraceful legacy of residential schools, the work is meant to encourage a collective carrying of the burden of this ugly and still present history. Bearing is a high concept work that offers a new model for catharsis via theatrical embodiment.
