The Cultch Presents
You used to call me Marie…
By Tai Amy Grauman
A Savage Society (Vancouver) and NAC Indigenous Theatre production
A love story, a historical epic, and a celebration of Metis song and dance, You used to call me Marie… paints the stories of the Callihoo women in Alberta. Music plays, and ponies dance as the story of Marie Callihoo unfurls through generations and time.
We follow Iskwewo, Napew, and Mistatim (‘horse’ in Michif) in eight intertwined stories of love and resilience as the Métis nation emerges across the plains. As we experience the love stories of Alberta’s Metis women—through stories of the fur trade, governance, and organizing in the 1930s and into the present day—we witness generations of Callihoo women unfold.
Don’t miss the world premiere of this beautiful new play, featuring era-spanning dance and live music, from French fiddle to contemporary country!
