By Joseph A. Dandurand Presented by Anvil Theatre An Axis Theatre production “When you take something from the earth, you must give something back.” Indigenous storytellers spin a tale from the Kwantlen First Nations Village of Squa’lets, about legend of the basket ogress, Th’owxiya, an old hungry spirit that inhabits a feast dish full of bountiful delicious foods. This Kwantlen First Nations tale follows a sly Mouse (Kw’at’el) who is caught stealing cheese from this feast dish. To appease an angry Th’owxiya, Kw’at’el embarks on a journey to find two children for the ogress to eat, or else! Come enjoy the traditional Coast Salish and Sto:lo music, masks, and imagery while learning how Raven (Sqeweqs), Bear (Spa:th), and Sasquatch (Sasq’ets). Suitable for all ages.
