Community Telling Tour with Akpik Theatre

In October 2023, Prismatic Arts Festival and Akpik Theatre embarked on a tour to visit Mi’kmaq communities around the province.

Akpik Theatre shared their community telling of Pawâkan Macbeth, creating space for learning, connection, and cultural sharing between Cree and Mi’kmaq cultures.

Over several days, Prismatic and Akpik Theatre will visit the Mi’kmaw Native Friendship Centre (Kjipuktuk), Membertou First Nation, Eskasoni First Nation, and Millbrook First Nation.

Each stop will involve a gathering and feast with local youth and community, giving artists and community members alike opportunities for cultural sharing, storytelling, and connection through the arts.
