WINNIPEG — The Royal Winnipeg Ballet will present a new work this season inspired by the stories heard by Canada’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
Artistic director Andre Lewis and executive director Jeff Herd announced the lineup for the company’s 75th anniversary season Thursday.
It will open Oct. 1 with “A Story of Truth and Reconciliation,” created by choreographer Mark Godden, novelist Joseph Boyden, multimedia artist K.C. Adams, costume designer Paul Daigle and Juno Award-winning composer Christos Hatzis.
The dancers will be accompanied by Inuk throat singer Tanya Tagaq and the Northern Cree Singers while actress and politician Tina Keeper and her sister, Joy Keeper, will act as consultants for the production.
