From award-winning director and choreographer Igor Dobrovolskiy, and multi-disciplinary artist Nipahtuwet Naka Wespahtuwet (Possesom) Paul (Wolastoqiyik, Sitansisk First Nation), Pisuwin is an epic first ever Wolastoq story-ballet set to the soaring music of Polaris Prize and Juno award-winning composer Jeremy Dutcher (Wolastoqiyik, Neqotkuk First Nation).
Based on a Wolastoq tale, this multidisciplinary piece reflects on the current state of dis-ease in our world, illuminating a path to wholeness and rebalance. The project features eight dancers and blends Indigenous storytelling and ballet, redefining this classical form for a diverse, savvy and contemporary audience. Electronic sound, industrial landscapes and digital projection, juxtaposed with Wolastoq visual motifs of the spiritual and natural world, create the Indigenous cosmology within which the story takes place. “Why does the water no longer quench our thirst?” Pisuwin pushes us to confront our greed and alienation, while inspiring us to take a different path; one of connection, community and wholeness.

Du réalisateur et chorégraphe primé Igor Dobrovolskiy, et de l’artiste multidisciplinaire Nipahtuwet Naka Wespahtuwet (Possesom) Paul (Wolastoqiyik, Première Nation Sitansisk), Pisuwin est un tout premier ballet-histoire épique Wolastoq sur la musique envoûtante du prix Polaris et Juno le compositeur primé Jeremy Dutcher (Wolastoqiyik, Première Nation Neqotkuk).
Basée sur un conte wolastoq, cette pièce multidisciplinaire réfléchit sur l’état actuel de la maladie dans notre monde, éclairant un chemin vers la plénitude et le rééquilibre. Le projet met en scène huit danseurs et allie contes et ballets autochtones, redéfinissant cette forme classique pour un public diversifié, avisé et contemporain. Le son électronique, les paysages industriels et la projection numérique, juxtaposés aux motifs visuels Wolastoq du monde spirituel et naturel, créent la cosmologie autochtone dans laquelle l’histoire se déroule. « Pourquoi l’eau n’étanche-t-elle plus notre soif ? » Pisuwin nous pousse à confronter notre cupidité et notre aliénation, tout en nous incitant à prendre un chemin différent ; celle de la connexion, de la communauté et de la plénitude.
