Sipekne'katik First Nation create adaptation of Shakepere's The Tempest

Mainstreet Halifax

Halifax's Zuppa Theatre and members of Sipekne'katik First Nation have come together to create an adaptation of Shakespere's The Tempest. The original was written in a time of colonization and is one of the only Shakespeare plays to feature Indigenous characters. In this retelling, titled Metu’na’q, the characters confront stereotypes. The CBC's Sis'moqon went to a rehearsal last week to speak to performers in Sipekne'katik.
