The Sun and the Moon - World Premiere Screening

The Sun and the Moon live performance was created in 2018. If you’ve seen the live performance, this work takes you deeper into the heart of the artists and the story, into the healing power of art making and the stunning beauty of dance on the land.
See the work in it's re-imagined form as an experimental dancefilm documentary by award winning artist, Evann Siebens!
▫️
World Premiere Screening Friday, July 12th, 8:30 pm – 10:00 pm at the Port Theatre!
▫️
Made in collaboration with Snuneymuxw author and storyteller, Celestine Aleck, choreographer Holly Bright, filmmaker Evann Siebens, dance artists Geneviève Johnson and Nicola Jackson, with costume design by Graham McMonagle and original score by Wayne Lavallee.
▫️
This film is a translation from a live dance performance. It explores themes of Indigenous and settler reconciliation, mental health and healing and explores the challenges of creating a collaborative dance piece. Beautifully shot in nature on Snuneymuxw homelands, in and around Nanaimo, Canada, the film brings to life how a mythic fable about the Sun and the Moon, acts as a metaphor for the ways in which life imitates art and art reflects life.
▫️
This filmed adaptation of The Sun and the Moon is supported by Canada Council for the Arts and the British Columbia Arts Council.
