Aalaapi | ᐋᓛᐱ
“Choosing silence to hear something beautiful”: that’s the meaning of Aalaapi in Inuktitut. This play combines documentary and radio testimonies in French, English and Inuktitut to immerse audiences in the daily lives of five young women from Nunavik who share their lives between the North and the South. These intimate portraits, depicted with speech, sound and silences, reveal the richness of their history and the power of their future.
ENGLISH SURTITLES AVAILABLE.
NOTICE TO PARENTS: On Saturday, June 10, for the 1:00 p.m. performance, TfT will be offering free on-site childcare for your children ages 4 to 12! Thanks to the support of Balancing Act, the Summerhill Club will be happy to entertain your children during the show.
