SUMMARY:Trail: Where Have All the Buffalo Gone? by Axis Theatre
DESCRIPTION:The Trail & District Arts Council and Rossland Council for Arts and Culture present Where Have All the Buffalo Gone? by Axis Theatre\, a captivating show for kids in Grade 4 to 12\, their families and the young at heart to enjoy together. The show is on Sunday\, March 1 at 3:00 pm in The Bailey Theatre and is part of the TECK Family Series. \nWhere Have All The Buffalo Gone? is a love-story that transcends time as it follows two souls through seven different periods of Métis history. Filled with stories about the Sun Traveller and the Callihoo family\, the performance is a theatre piece that incorporates fiddle music\, jigging\, and a life-like buffalo puppet. \nInspired by historical events of the Métis people of Canada\, this original play for young audiences explores the loves\, the losses and the fight of Treaty 6’s Métis people – and their love and kinship to the buffalo. \nThe play takes the audience through the emergence of the Métis Nation across the plains\, then leads into the robust colonization that arises from the fur trade\, the disappearance of the buffalo\, as well as the political uprising of the Métis Association of Alberta in the 1930s. The story starts in creation among the stars and ends in 2024. \nWatch the trailer https://vimeo.com/940939867?p=1s \nCREATIVE TEAM – Playwright: Tai Amy Grauman; Director: Amanda Testini; Co-Director & Sound Design: Chris McGregor; Set\, Props & Buffalo Design: Dusty Hagerüd; Costume Design: Alaia Hamer. \nABOUT AXIS THEATRE\nIn the age of “looking down\,” Axis draws young eyes up to engage them in interactive experiences that educate\, inspire\, and transform. Audiences experience smart\, entertaining interpretations of traditional and cutting-edge physical theatre. Axis incorporates combinations of puppetry\, movement\, live music\, red-nose clown\, and improvisation to expand the meaning and impact of the stories presented. It is deceptively simple\, completely fresh\, and memorable.A special thank you to the company’s sponsors: The Downie-Wenjack and Chris Spencer Foundations. \nAxis Theatre is grateful to live\, work\, and play on the unceded\, traditional territories of the Coast Salish peoples – sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish)\, sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-Waututh)\, and xwməθkwəy̓ əm (Musqueam) nations. \nShow 55 minutes with a 15 min Q&A after the show. \nSingle tickets are $18 or get tickets to all 4 Family Series shows for just $60. General admission seating so come early to get the best seats.\nAll individual tickets and passes are available online at purchase.trail-arts.com\, by phone at 250-368-9669\, and in person at the Bailey Box Office at 1501 Cedar Ave.\, Trail. \nThis show is made possible thanks to funding from Teck Trail Operations\, the BC Arts Council\, BC Touring Council\, the Government of Canada\, and Tourism South Kootenay with support from Ferraro Foods and the Prestige Mountain Resort Rossland.
