WHERE THE BLOOD MIXES

CO-PRODUCTION WITH SOULPEPPER

May 26 – June 19, 2022

Young Centre for the Performing Arts

A place in the heart where a father and daughter meet.

Where the Blood Mixes takes us to the place where the rivers meet, to the heart of a family. After decades apart, Christine returns to her First Nations community to reconnect with her father. Her return provokes his memories of the Residential School system and together they must confront that legacy. With beautiful heart and great humour, this is a celebration of resilience and the healing power of stories.
