Nestuita’si Storytelling’s KOQM

by shalan joudry

“I saw this beautiful show last fall and count myself very lucky to be able to present it this summer! Ship’s audiences might remember shalan from our 2020 digital season as well as her contribution to Mi’kmaq Stories last year. Don’t miss this chance to see one of our region’s leading storytellers onstage”. – Richie Wilcox, AD 

Koqm is a journey through time and land to experience the voices of fictional L’nu (Mi’kmaw) women. Throughout the course of the show we hear and meet the women who might have spoken and walked through one area of forest over centuries. Guided by the strength of an ancient tree (“koqm”), the women’s voices share with us their personal stories of grief, humour and resiliency through a unique theatrical performance.
