Often called the “battle that made Canada,” Vimy Ridge resulted in over 10,000 Canadian casualties. Through direct storytelling, live music, and dance, the show examines misconceptions and varying perspectives around that battle, while drawing parallels to other formative events in our nation’s past. Featuring inventive musical interpretations of WWI soldier songs, and original choreography performed by members of Ballet Jörgen, Over the Ridge probes difficult yet necessary questions about how and why we grieve. A vivid, kinetic ride through history, as well as an intimate, personal examination of our connection to the past, Over the Ridge is a visceral work that passionately argues against the exploitation of young lives.
