Based on a Wolastoq tale, this multidisciplinary piece blends Indigenous storytelling and ballet, redefining this classical form for a diverse, savvy, and contemporary audience. Set to the soaring music of award-winning composer Jeremy Dutcher, Pisuwin features electronic sounds, industrial landscapes, and digital projection juxtaposed with Wolastoq songs and visual motifs.
Pisuwin is choregraphed by Artistic Director Igor Dobrovolskiy with Co-director Possesom Paul.
