The Firehall Arts Centre presents Inner Elder, a powerful solo show created and performed by award-winning Cree artist Michelle Thrush, from May 22 to 31.
A young Indigenous girl growing up in Alberta navigates a world of substance abuse, aliens, and the spiritual presence of her guiding grandmothers. In her darkest moments, her superhero Kookum with magic moccasins appears to help light the way forward. With humour, forgiveness, and truth, she is able to heal from the past and transform her future.
Inner Elder is an imaginative journey through real-life memories. With intimate storytelling, Thrush (who is known for her roles in APTN’s Blackstone, CBC’s North of 60, and Arctic Air) weaves memories with laughter, grace, and playfulness to explore her own inner Elder. Her poignant recollections will open audiences’ hearts and minds while making them laugh out loud.
