From award-winning director and choreographer Igor Dobrovolskiy, and multi-disciplinary artist Nipahtuwet Naka Wespahtuwet (Possesom) Paul (Wolastoqiyik, Sitansisk First Nation), Pisuwin is an epic first ever Wolastoq story-ballet set to the soaring music of Polaris Prize and Juno award-winning composer Jeremy Dutcher (Wolastoqiyik, Neqotkuk First Nation).
Based on a Wolastoq tale, this multidisciplinary piece reflects on the current state of dis-ease in our world, illuminating a path to wholeness and rebalance. The project features eight dancers and blends indigenous storytelling and ballet, redefining this classical form for a diverse, savvy and contemporary audience. Electronic sound, industrial landscapes and digital projection, juxtaposed with Wolastoq visual motifs of the spiritual and natural world, create the indigenous cosmology within which the story takes place. “Why does the water no longer quench our thirst?” Pisuwin pushes us to confront our greed and alienation, while inspiring us to take a different path; one of connection, community and wholeness.
Between Breaths is a one-act play telling the true story of Dr. Jon Lien, well-known in Newfoundland as the Whale Man. Lien pioneered techniques for rescuing whales trapped in fishing nets. Often risking his very life in the water with the formidable and frightened animals, he would seek to earn their trust as much as the fishermen’s. His ability to free more than 500 whales, while doing as little damage to the fishing gear as possible, won the hard-earned respect of the fishermen. Despite his risky work, Lien’s biggest fight came at the hands of a lengthy illness. Before he passed away in 2010, his body was slowly conquered by immobility and dementia.
Between Breaths jumps time backwards, from the final moments of Lien’s life – in a wheelchair and dealing with brain damage – to his very first whale intervention. As his life becomes further and further confined, his mind stretches itself in memories of release and salvation.
Award-winning Nova Scotia artist and producer Erin Costelo will present one of the most beloved albums in history, Carole King’s “Tapestry.” In addition to this album, Erin will showcase her album We Can Get Over in an opening set.
In 2022, We Can Get Over celebrates its 10-year anniversary and was highly inspired by the songwriting of Carole King, making it a perfect fit to complete this show. We Can Get Over is a soulful affair that draws from classic singer-songwriter records of the ‘60s and ‘70s to build a warm, intimate atmosphere that harboured songs about those things in life worth fighting for: love, freedom, hope.
John Milton’s epic poem Paradise Lost, one of the most iconic texts in English literature, tells the story of the war in Heaven that resulted in the casting out of Satan and the bad angels, the temptation and fall of Adam and Eve, and their expulsion from the Garden of Eden.
Erin Shields’ adaptation, which debuted to acclaim at Ontario’s Stratford Festival in 2018, offers a witty, subversive, and decidedly contemporary and feminist retelling of Genesis, featuring a female Satan (of course!), epic angelic sword fights, and a whole lot of Edenic hanky panky. Directed by Len Falkenstein with technical direction by Trent Logan, the play is produced and performed by the students of Drama 3170, in cooperation with the students of Drama 2174.
Paradise Lost will be performed Wednesday, February 8th through Saturday, February 11th, 7:30 PM nightly at Memorial Hall, UNB. Tickets are available at the door via cash, credit, or debit, priced at $15 regular, $12 for seniors and the underemployed, and $10 for students. For more information, email lfalken@unb.ca or phone 447-3078.
Ovation is a series of concerts designed to bring live music back to the general public and to encourage people far and wide to share with the Tutta Musica Orchestra how music has helped them overcome the challenges of the pandemic.
Ovation also celebrates the power of music. While many turned to breadmaking, walking or reading as a way of escape, music was the universal saving grace for us all. From streaming concerts to drive-by performances, the world found comfort and solace in music during those challenging times.
And so it is with immense gratitude and pride for our community that we invite every Canadian to join us in celebrating the power of music, the signature Canadian sense of togetherness, and the impact of community in all of our lives.
