About

Geneviève Pelletier of Théâtre Cercle Molière and Anne Manson of the Manitoba Chamber Orchestra will discuss the collaboration that will lead to the production of Nanabush and the Drum/Nanabozho et le tambour.

The trickster is jealous. He’s fallen for the daughter of a powerful chief. Unfortunately for him, another man has laid claim to her heart: a coureur de bois, a little on the naïve side to boot! What’s a poor trickster to do but send his rival packing with a series of ploys that leave the outsider battered and bruised? The young woman, though, is far stronger, sager and resourceful that anyone could have imagined...

The Théâtre Cercle Molière and the Manitoba Chamber Orchestra invite you to see how this love triangle unravels in a new production, combining theatre and poetry, myth and music.

Théâtre Cercle Molière is the oldest theatre company with uninterrupted programming in Canada. Established in 1925, the company’s founders had the objective of bringing the French language to life within and beyond St-Boniface’s vibrant community. Today, the objective remains the same as the company strives to bridge language barriers with their subtitled performances and present inclusive and diverse programming to appeal to Winnipeg’s ever-changing community.
