A Port Theatre Spotlight Series Presentation
The Crow’s Theatre production of
As You Like It, or The Land Acknowledgement
(14+)
Cliff Cardinal’s new work examines the relationship between the Indigenous community and the settlers, showing us what a young and insightful artist from the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota sees in the aftermath of the discovery of unmarked graves on the grounds of former residential schools. He offers us the unvarnished truth of the state of the reconciliation process this country has been attempting for the last few decades. He uses theatre to do what it has always done: to take a few moments and pay attention to someone other than our own selves.
Called “the Canadian arts surprise of the year” by The Globe and Mail, Cliff’s brilliant play The Land Acknowledgement, or As You Like It will dazzle and engage you as only the best theatre can.”
