Au coeur d'Aïko

How do you pay tribute to ten years of artistic work and creativity brought to a halt? Is there a way to revive the defunct Shiraz Arts Festival through a dance performance? 

Surrounded by a forest of neon lights, Rwandan dancer and musician Dorothée Munyaneza invokes the black women that colonial archives have tried to erase from history—including Tituba, an enslaved black woman accused in the infamous Salem witch trials. 

Starring Maude Cyr-Deschênes, Olivier Dion, Matthieu Lévesque, Nathalie Simard, Océane Kitura Bohémier-Tootoo and Laurent Lucas, Evangéline is a sweeping historical musical with a modern twist. A visually stunning rendition of a saga born of the Indigenous land now known as Nova Scotia.
