From the East Coast Hudson Bay Eskimos comes this exciting, authentic tale of a pale-haired child who is exiled by her own people because she was “the different one … Anatou.” In a village ruled by spirits, shamans, superstition, and myth, such a different one has no place. During a famine in which her parents disappear in a storm, Anatou is cast out. She seeks out the forest, into which no Eskimo goes, and begs the Wood God to turn her into a wolf.
The production uses movement and the beat of Eskimo drums, spare and poetic language, and striking visual imagery to create a haunting theatrical experience that illuminates the social problems of today and explores prejudice and the passion for revenge that it inspires.
