[“TAK-wa-HI-mi-na-na” A Cree and Michif word for chokecherry]
Takwahiminana is a darkly funny, deeply moving new play by award-winning playwright Matthew MacKenzie (First Métis Man of Odesa, Bears).
Sharon—a Métis woman born in India, who moved back to her ancestral home in Alberta as a teenager, has always been caught between cultures.Now an adult, at a lavish foodie dinner party hosted by her longtime paramour, she’s marking the unofficial 20th anniversary of their extramarital affair. But as this complicated love simmers, her Indigenous knowledge is appropriated and fetishized.
Blending biting satire with stunning Bharatanatyam choreography, this world premiere is a theatrical feast you won’t soon forget.
Soulpepper Theatre is at PO Box 52201 Garneau Edmonton, Alberta T6G 2T5, Toronto, ON.
