KIUGWE: The Great Meeting
Premiering July 18, 2008. Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, July 18 to September 7, 2008, at dusk.
The premiere performance of this mega-production featuring the culture of the Huron-Wendat Nation will be presented in July 2008. Accentuating authenticity, drama and artistic performance, this outstanding production was entirely written and directed by Jacques Crête. A unique and original show designed, created and produced by Inter-Nation-Art (Quebec City Summer Festival) for Tourisme Wendake.
This grandiose show draws freely on the rich myths of the Huron-Wendat Nation and those of the other First Nations, such as the "Six Nations of the Grand River Territory". KIUGWE is an unusual presentation that will be performed in part in an open-air amphitheatre and in part in a circuit through the village of Wendake and beside the Kabir Kouba Falls.
