Wolastoq and Quebecois artist Ivanie Aubin-Malo takes us on a journey through dance, music, and song into a reimagined tale, invoking the Giants, entities from the oral traditions of the Wabanaki peoples.

A captivating performance brought to the stage with violinist Julian Rice (Mi’kmaq et Kanien’keha:ka), this creation transports us on a fascinating journey through the oral, sung, and danced traditions of the Wabanaki peoples. Wahsipekuk : Au-delà des montagnes is a leap into the invisible space of dreams, an attempt to reconnect and continue the transmission of knowledge. This project, co-initiated by Ivanie Aubin-Malo and Natasha Kanapé Fontaine in 2020, invites the audience to experience a vibrant celebration where the past and present meet.

Wahsipekuk : Au-delà des montagnes

Salle Multi et Studio D'Essai

For more than a century, a museum in Russia has held a collection of 19th-century Sugpiaq belongings that originate from Kodiak, Alaska—the homeland of Sugpiaq artist and choreographer Tanya Lukin Linklater. In her new performance installation, Tendon thread, Lukin Linklater imagines these belongings yearning to return home. Moving through sound and textiles, the performance evokes the terrain of the Kodiak archipelago, creating a meditation on material, displacement, and repair.
