TUES AUG 30 - Otîhêw: An Indigenous Reimagining of Shakespeare's Othello by PJ Prudat

Event closed

Set during the fur-trade era, Otîhêw explores Shakespeare’s themes through a Cree-Métis lens of race, land, love, survival, and betrayal. Otîhêw is the story of an affluent Indigenous woman bound in the historical “custom-of-the-country” to Desmond, a fur-trader employed by the imperial trading and trafficking institution that drove colonization over sovereign Indigenous lands. 


All performances of Otîhêw are Pay-What-You-Can-Afford at the park, or you can reserve a seat in advance at the price point that is accessible to you. 


**A reminder that out of care for our community, masks are required at all performances.**


Seating is on the grass. Bring your picnic blanket or lawn chair!


In an effort to make every performance of Otîhêw as accessible as we can, Open Captions will be available every night. The play was written to include Integrated Description.


We will also have the following options available on a nightly basis to help make Otîhêw more accessible to our audiences:

- Pre-show guided Touch Tours

- Street-to-Seat guide

- Description Buddies

- Reserved seating for mobility devices


There will be a Visual Guide and a Large Print version of our program available at the park.
