Giiwedin

“Dig! Cut! Throw away! That’s progress on display!”

Graduating from being an adventurous Young Voices presentation to one of the most ambitious productions in Native Earth’s history, Giiwedin is a new opera written in Anishnawbe Mowin, French and English. Penned by Algonquin playwright Spy Dénommé-Welch, it tells the story of a 150-year old Aboriginal woman fighting for her land. This tour-de-force combination of powerful lyrics and world-class composition is a testament to the promise of Aboriginal theatre.
