Elapultiek (“we are looking towards”)

ELAPULTIEK (ehl-ah-bool-dee-egg) – “we are looking towards” by Shalan Joudry.  In the time of Idle No More, a young Mi’kmaw drum singer and a Euro-Nova Scotian biologist meet at dusk each day to count a population of endangered Chimney Swifts. As the relationship deepens over time, they struggle with their differing views of the world. Each ‘count night’ reveals a deeper complexity of connection to land, history, and ecology, and of reconciliation on a personal level.
Venue: Confusion Square (outside Coady and Xavier Hall).
