TRANSFORMATIONS: Michener Park

By Natércia Napoleão / Canadian Latinx Theatre Artist Coalition

"I’ve grown up with the thought that my cultural identity was a liability. As an emerging artist and leader, I would like to explore what it means to be an asset. I am a performer, storyteller, immigrant and Latinx woman. I endeavour to nourish that intersection and put it to service." - Natércia Napoleão

Michener Park is an exploration piece on its way to becoming a play.

It was created in amiskwaciwâskahikan / ᐊᒥᐢᑲᐧᒋᐋᐧᐢᑲᐦᐃᑲᐣ (Edmonton), part of Treaty 6 territory. Traditional and ancestral land of many Indigenous peoples, including the Nêhiyawak (Cree), Anishinaabe (Saulteaux ), Niitsitapi (Blackfoot), Métis, Dene, and Nakota Sioux.

Commissioned by Canadian Latinx Theatre Artist Coalition.
