The TSO is thrilled to present a newly commissioned work inspired by Sandra Laronde’s award-winning novel, She Holds Up the Stars. This groundbreaking production blends life-sized puppets, movement, storytelling, theatre, visual design, and Eliot Britton’s orchestral score.
The story follows a young Indigenous girl who returns to live on the rez and unexpectedly bonds with a wild horse, broken by a rancher and his son. As tensions rise around her, she begins to navigate a world of cruelty and beauty, discovering an inner strength that reshapes her connection to land, home, and heart.
