First created for The National Ballet of Canada\, this vigorous\, precision-perfect work is set to Arvo Pärt’s Fratres.Next\, National Ballet of Canada Choreographic Associate Guillaume Côté brings strength and fragility to a fascinating interpretation of the beloved “Bolero” by Maurice Ravel featuring 5 dancers.

Set to songs by Polaris Prize-winning composer and singer Jeremy Dutcher\, taqəš follows the traditional story “Raven Returns the Water”\, centred around Raven (P̓oho) and Frog (Walθ). \nWatch the taqəš trailer at https://vimeo.com/617188774 \nThere will be a pre-show talk with taqəš choreographer Cameron Fraser-Monroe. \n“It is very important that First Nations Peoples tell our own stories\,” says Fraser-Monroe\, a member of the Tla’amin First Nation in Powell River\, BC.taqəš and Other Works is a dynamic program that promises to captivate audiences. \nShow length: 45 minutes with 15 minute pre-show talk.Individual Adult Ticket: $30.00\, except Shane Koyczan which is $35.PLUS:• the bargain price of $10 for anyone under 30 years old• 2 for 1 for hospital / medical employees for all Performing Arts Trail shows.• New attendees 2 for 1: Bring someone who hasn’t been to the theatre before and get 2 for 1 for all Performing Arts Trail shows.
