Events Description
Witness hope and resilience onstage in The Mush Hole – an exquisite theatrical dance performance that illuminates a dark corner of Canada’s history. From 1828 to 1970, Indigenous children from Six Nations were torn from their families, stripped of their names, and forced to live at Brantford’s Mohawk Institute Residential School. Kids called it the Mush Hole for the appalling gruel they were fed.
From visionary director, choreographer, and producer Santee Smith, comes this powerful story, created from the testimonials of two generations of Survivors. With visceral performances from an all-Indigenous cast, immersive video, and a cinematic musical score, this five-time Dora Award-winner is one of Canada’s must-see productions.
