SHOW DESCRIPTION
Theatre Passe Muraille
Written and performed by Donna-Michelle St.Bernard
Direction/Dramaturgy by Andy McKim and Jivesh Parasram
This solo piece by two-time Governor General’s Award Nominee Donna-Michelle St.Bernard (aka Belladonna the Blest) speaks truth to power using spoken word, storytelling and hip-hop. Inspired by Tunisian emcee Weld-El 15 – who was jailed for his song Boulicia Kleb (The Police Are Dogs) – the show highlights St.Bernard’s quick wit and quicker rhymes in a performance that reflects on identity, oppression and what happens when authority is questioned.
Talkback following September 20th performance, facilitated by Tamika Krush in partnership with QPOC Winnipeg
ASL interpreted performance on September 22nd at 7pm
