A heartfelt musical for families from Concrete Theatre about the relationship between a Deaf mother and her hearing son, performed in sung English and American Sign Language, without surtitles or interpretation. The heart of this touching and funny play is its intimate connection to playwright Dave Clarke’s experience growing up as a CODA (Child of Deaf Adult).

Songs My Mother Never Sung Me

Remai Arts Centre

In this historical, mystic opera, 21st century Joséphine-Marie, through a grandmother’s story, is transported to 1870s Montana where she encounters an ancestor, the sharpshooter Josette, a runaway travelling with Riel and the last buffalo brigades. Josette falls in love with the young, passionate, Louis Riel, in disguise, on the run from assassins.

The pair confront jealousy, destiny, deprivation, and torment wrought by four shape-shifting Black Geese of Fate, but are comforted by ghost choruses of ancestors, the bison brigades, and the women of their peoples, as they try to salvage a nation and save themselves from total destruction in the burning heart of the continent of the 1870s.

In this variation of the beloved fairy tale Cinderella, La Cenerentola tells the story of a young woman who is forced to act as a servant to her pompous and mean social-climbing stepfather and ungrateful stepsisters.
