A Kaha:wi Dance Theatre Production Presented by National Arts Centre English Theatre’s Grand Acts of Theatre
“Audiences can expect to witness one of the last standing Canadian Indian Residential Schools being transformed by creativity. Symbolic disintegration of the school and resilient restoration highlights cultural and family connections the School architects meant to destroy.”

Continuance is the state of remaining in existence. Continuance as a Grand Act is an embodiment of resilience and a celebration of Indigenous continuance. The multimedia drive-in theatre shines light, 3D mapping on the darkness of the Mohawk Institute Residential School with an immersive interplay with live intergenerational Haudenosaunee performers
