Taking on Water

A gripping new work led by Governor General’s Award–winning storyteller Robert Chafe.

Inspired by real voices from coastal Newfoundland & Labrador, this powerful blend of theatre, music, and movement brings to life vivid magic-realist stories of communities shaped by a changing ocean. These stories unfold onstage through the unforgettable performances of Robert Chafe, dancer and storyteller Louise Moyes, and the acclaimed Duo Concertante (Nancy Dahn, violin; Timothy Steeves, piano), with an evocative original score by composer Randolph Peters.
