Pangea World Theatre presents:
5 Weeks
through April 23
5 Weeks
tells the stories of broken hearts, shattered images, longing and
memories of home during the tumultuous time after borders were drawn to
create India and Pakistan in 1947. Inspired by real life events,
interviews and fiction, 5 Weeks weaves together multiple strands of
stories of people of different faiths and cultures, bringing to life
those forced to flee what they once called home, the pressures to choose
allegiance, and the desperate search for compassion in a time when
humanity hung in the balance.

When you observe the world around you, what do you see? What
possibilities for healing self and community emerge when you pause to
consider your place within a larger network of life? How are your
movements, stories, and imagination formed and informed by the these
relationships with the environment? Adapting the practice of Augusto
Boal and his Rainbow of Desire, this workshop explores the ways in which
performance mediates our relationship with the environment. Through
movement and oral storytelling, participants will reflect on what they
carry into the space, how they connect with the world around them, and
why we might consider performance as a way to hear and see the
environment otherwise. This will be the first of several performance
workshops happening at the Native American Medicine Garden over the
spring and summer months.
WHEN: Wednesday April 26th from 2:00-3:00
WHERE: University of Minnesota Native American Medicine Garden (corner of Cleveland and Larpenteur)
* Come dressed for the elements - this event will be rain or shine!
* There will be light snacks and refreshments at the conclusion of the event.
