Part live cinema, part ecological opera, askîwan ᐊᐢᑮᐊᐧᐣ transforms a miniature film set into vast dreamlike mountainscapes unfolding in real time. Created and directed by nêhiyaw artist Tyson Houseman, this operatic multimedia performance merges live video, electroacoustic sound, and nehiyawewin song to explore cyclical, geologic notions of deep time and connections between land, memory, and future.
