Nanabush fait salle comble à Garden Hill

Nanabush fait salle comble à Garden Hill

Nanabush ? Vous connaissez ? Dans la culture Oji-Cree, beaucoup le définissent comme un Trickster, un personnage inscrit dans les légendes comme celui qui participa notamment à la création des animaux. Il est aussi un des principaux personnages de la pièce mise en scène par une quinzaine de jeunes ces dernières semaines à l'occasion du programme Trickster.

Le gymnase de l'école secondaire de Garden Hill a pris des allures de théâtre en ce 1er février malgré un bon -35 au thermomètre. Après 2 semaines d'ateliers, les jeunes participants au Trickster étaient prêts pour faire leurs premiers pas sur scène.

 

 
Au programme, 2 représentations ... en matinée devant l'école primaire, et en après-midi devant l'école secondaire et la communauté conviée pour l'occasion. Près de 700 personnes ont fait le déplacement pour découvrir cette adaptation d'un conte de la communauté : "La légende de la corneille".
 
Éclairage, trame sonore, costumes, ombres chinoises, mains à mains, jonglerie, danse, acrobatie... une performance haute en couleurs qui a ravi le public, mais surtout, qui a rempli de fierté ceux qui en étaient les premiers acteurs.

L'aventure ne s’arrête pas là: le projet sera présenté à la fin du mois comme initiative inspirante à lors d'une conférence régionale sur l'éducation. Plusieurs des participants feront le déplacement pour y présenter tout ou partie de leur spectacle.
 
Quelques jours après notre retour à Montréal, notre équipe a appris que les échos du spectacle avaient  atteints les communautés avoisinantes. Les jeunes sont invités à y présenter leur spectacle.
 
C'était une première pour Trickster à Garden Hill et au Manitoba, mais ce ne sera visiblement pas la dernière. À suivre ...

"There was so much interest from the entire school community – the students were very enthusiastic, there was high involvement of school staff members and the elders were involved in the process.  I never thought a simple story would become so alive and  . . .  so cool. The project was a HUGE success.  Teachers shared the difference they see in the behavior of the students that took part – especially in the area of self confidence."
