NANATASIS

A Musique 3 femmes, Le Vivier and Sixtrum coproduction

Created by Abenaki storyteller and librettist Nicole O’Bomsawin and composer Alejandra Odgers, Nanatasis takes us on a journey through three traditional Abenaki legends, through the tales of wise Grandma Marmotte and the exciting adventures of Kl8sk8ba, a boy turned man and hero. These legends tell us the story of the creation of the world, starting with the first sound of a rattle – a giant, terrifying moz that Kl8sk8ba reduces to its present-day size – and of an endless winter that finally gives way to spring. In this work commissioned by Musique 3 Femmes, in co-production with Sixtrum and directed by Métis director and set designer Troy Hourie, eleven musicians and four puppeteers take you into a magical, colorful world.
