Minosis Gathers Hope

Event Details

This event finished on 24 January 2018

Alberta Aboriginal Performing Arts (AAPA) and Punctuate! Theatre, in Association with The Theatre Centre, present Minosis Gathers Hope, a play for young audiences by Indigenous playwright Christine Sokaymoh Frederick (Cree/Métis). This ambitious, Indigenous-led multidisciplinary theatre production is a fun and accessible opportunity for youth to creatively engage in Métis and Cree culture.

Minosis Gathers Hope is about a young Métis girl named Minosis (Cree for kitten), hurting from feelings of abandonment, self-doubt and racism. In the piece, Minosis travels the four directions of her grandparents yard in search of medicine wheel-coloured ribbons. This sparks the magic of ceremony, cultural teachings, mythology and legends, and ultimately connects her to the mythical figures of her grandparents’ stories.

Tickets: Children $7 | Adult $12
