SUMMARY:Te Tangi a Te Tūī | Maori cirque theatre work
DESCRIPTION:A stunning Maori cirque theatre work performed in Te Reo Maori\, telling the allegorical story of Aotahi and her son Piri as they navigate powerful supernatural beings representing the colonial forces that displaced their people. The production is a collaboration between Te Rehia Theatre and The Dust Palace circus company\, combining aerial acrobatics\, physical theatre\, and Indigenous storytelling in an immersive and visually striking performance. Tickets are available through the NAC website and the run spans four evenings from Thursday June 4 through Sunday June 7. The Azrieli Studio at the NAC is an intimate black-box-style space at 1 Elgin Street in downtown Ottawa. This production is recommended for general adult audiences and older youth interested in world theatre and circus arts. \nSet in Aotearoa (New Zealand)\, Te Tangi a Te Tūī follows Aotahi\, a woman living peacefully on her ancestral land near a mysterious forest inhabited by supernatural beings. After the birth of her son Piri\, the first male born into their family for generations\, an ancient curse is awakened. As Piri grows older\, two powerful forces begin fighting for control over his future: Te Pua o Te Reinga\, a grieving Patupaiarehe seeking to resurrect her lost lover through Piri\, and Kōiriiri\, the cursed Bird Man determined to escape his torment by making Piri take his place. \nBlending mythology\, family legacy\, and themes tied to the lasting impacts of colonization\, this visually striking cirque theatre production explores love\, identity\, language\, and generational struggle. Performed entirely in Te Reo Māori\, Te Tangi a Te Tūī delivers an immersive and emotionally powerful theatrical experience from Aotearoa/New Zealand. \nEvent details can change\, so verify with the organizer before attending.

SUMMARY:An intimate tale of waiting (NAC French Theatre)
DESCRIPTION:Bilingual French Theatre production presented by NAC French Theatre. Three theatrical stars sparkle in a rare alignment: a brilliant director\, a radiant actress and the Sun herself\, Annie Ernaux\, the masterful chronicler of anonymous others. Using her pen as a scalpel\, she dissects a heart consumed by passion: her own. \nMany of us have read and reread the work of literature Nobel prize winner Ernaux\, but how many of us have ever heard it performed on stage? Unyielding theatrical mastermind Brigitte Haentjens has invited the stellar Julie Le Breton to channel the voice of this unique French author. On stage\, a woman waits hours\, day\, weeks by the phone. She is expecting a call from her Lover\, a married foreign diplomat. Between the ecstasy of ephemeral lovemaking and the despair of absence\, she observes her own fall from grace with stunning lucidity. The language is sharp and cutting\, with occasional delicate sprinkles of humour. \nTo experience this intimate\, autobiographical tale with sensitivity\, the audience must suspend all moral judgment and accept that they will see the author of Se perdre launch herself\, body and soul\, into the maw of two impetuous monsters: loving and writing.

SUMMARY:Chamberfest Concert Series - Le Consort Laurentien x Lagrime
DESCRIPTION:Make sure to catch an incredible music show from this Concert Series this fall and winter. Featuring Canadian and international artists\, this season’s Concert Series is sure to be one of Chamberfest™’s best series to date \nLe Consort Laurentien x Lagrime\nMacKay United | 39 Dufferin Rd\, Ottawa\, ON K1M 2H3\nTonight\, we welcome Quebec-born Basel-based Maximilien Brisson to present a concert highlighting the virtuosity and expressive power of the seldom-heard Baroque trombone. His ensembles Lagrime and Le Consort laurentien come together with tenor Charles Daniels to present a poignant programme of Italian and German Baroque repertoire\, drawn from Brisson’s recent album Scorrete lagrime mie\, which explores the theme of tears through works by Italian Baroque composers such as Barbara Strozzi\, Francesca Caccini\, and Sigismondo d’India. As a special treat for tonight’s audience\, the two ensembles extend this exploration into the German region of Saxony\, adding works by composers including Heinrich Schütz and Andreas Hammerschmidt\, both active during the Thirty Years’ War (1618–1648). \nA rich mix of vocal and instrumental works\, this programme examines how composers from Italy and Saxony approached the expression of tears in music\, in times of both turmoil and peace. The ensembles’ distinctive instrumentation – trombone\, violin\, cornetto\, and harpsichord – adds an element of rarity to the evening. Tonight’s performance offers a compelling opportunity to hear Baroque music performed on period instruments by specialists in the field\, illuminating one of the most iconic emotional themes of the Baroque era: music of fervor\, resilience\, and hope.
