What We Carry at Native Earth Performing Arts

Native Earth Performing Arts is proud to present the Ontario Premiere of What We Carry, an A’nó:wara Dance Theatre solo dance piece choreographed and performed by Barbara Kaneratonni Diabo, at Aki Studio in Toronto from February 6-9, 2025. What We Carry is an expression of Diabo’s life’s journey as she shares many experiences that she carries in the bundle of her body, mind, and spirit. 

Told through five scenes and video interstitials, What We Carry is a deeply personal expression of the things that are bigger than words, the things that are sometimes painful and sometimes joyous. Diabo gives these things to dance and music as she explores motherhood, Indigenous language and cultural responsibility, the feminine body, ancestors, and the universal journey.
