təməxʷ by Quelemia Sparrow

The Earth—tired, hot and desperate has decided to end it all. Time is running out for humankind. She begins to speak directly to a select few, at first to be heard and understood and then to form a plan. Indigenous Nations will once again become sovereign stewards of the land. Who will be chosen to stay? Those that are not chosen must die. Climate Refugees flock to Indigenous Nations Globally to be vetted. Do they deserve to live on Earth?

 

From Chelsea: Development this season is focused on finding the ideal location for this piece. We’ve brought on a kick-ass team of designers and will begin to flesh-out the installations on site.

 

Developed with the support of The Slaight Theatre Creation Residency at Banff Center for Arts and Creativity and a UBC Fellowship
