MULTIMEDIA SHOW

Indigenous story-ballet dances into Chilliwack Cultural Centre next month

Oct 25, 2025 | 2:47 PM

CHILLIWACK — A multimedia performance based on a traditional Atlantic Canadian tale is waltzing into Chilliwack soon.

“Pisuwin”, a Wolastoq story about returning the spirit of water, is the contemporary brainchild of award-winning director and choreographer Igor Dobrovolskiy, multi-disciplinary artist Nipahtuwet Naka Wespahtuwet Possesom Paul, and Polaris Prize and Juno award-winning composer Jeremy Dutcher.

“Visually striking and deeply evocative, Pisuwin invites reflection on the state of our world and asks you to imagine a path forward—one that restores balance, responsibility, and reconnection,” said the Chilliwack Cultural Centre in a release.

Guests can expect electronic soundscapes, digital projections and industrial imagery layered with movement from traditional Indigenous storytelling.

Tickets and more information are available online. The show is set for November 10 at 7:30 p.m. at the Centre.
