White As Snow - Hamilton
About this Event
White As Snow - Hamilton
After a successful run in New York City this spring, comedian Rose-Ingrid Benjamin is bringing their powerful solo performance across Canada. After a run at the Edmonton Fringe and Calgary Pride, they will be doing a two-show stop in Hamilton.
4 STARS - " ... a deeply personal yet thoroughly relatable journey of self-discovery... The performance is stunning, and the writing is as sharp as a knife..." The Edmonton Journal
Told from the perspective of a Haitian, Queer, eldest immigrant daughter, former worship leader and missionary, White As Snow tells the story of a young girl wrestling between two Gods. It is a tender reckoning with faith, family, identity, and the ways we come home to ourselves.
Ottawa multi-hyphenate Rose-Ingrid Benjamin's first play blends spoken word, storytelling, and song to weave a "deeply personal solo piece" that explores and challenges what it means to believe, belong, and walk away.
The performance is in English, with French and Kreyòl featured in memories and songs.
