The Stone and Bone Spectacular Tells the Indigenous History of Montreal – Montreal Times
Over the past decade or so, prior to a live stage production, an announcement was made that acknowledged what the theatre’s location used to be part of before European explorers arrived at and/or settled on the specific territory as of 1535 and 1642.
Usually, the acknowledgment referred to the Indigenous peoples who inhabited that territory and what it was primarily used for during those many centuries before there were European settlers. However, the Centaur Theatre decided to go beyond those land acknowledgements.
This season, the Centaur is launching the inaugural edition of its Indigenous Artist Residency program, which will present productions that will give many perspectives to their audiences about the culture and history of Montreal’s many Indigenous communities to promote a better appreciation and understanding.
