Skeleton Canoe follows the story of young Nawbin, an Anishinaabe youth searching for their place in the world. After mistakenly breaking their family’s canoe paddle in a fit of emotions, they flee their home and set out on a journey that takes them along the water to discover truths and a way back to themselves. Blending puppetry, storytelling, music, and multimedia design, this visually striking performance draws young audiences into a world where land, water, and family are interconnected.

Blending dance and music into a richly expressive movement language, the production returns to the emotional core of Vivaldi’s compositions and the memories they evoke. At once contemplative and visually striking, Il Cimento dell’Armonia e dell’Inventione offers a powerful meditation on rhythm, nature, and human connection.
