LATEST RELEASE

She Told Me Where to Go is out now! I hope you love it as much as I do. From the beautiful artwork to the beautiful hooky playing of Afie Jurvanen, Darcy Yates, Joshua Van Tassel and Glenn Patscha, to the currents of many types of love running through it.
Old Man Ludecke on his new album, She Told Me Where to Go

In an Old Man Luedecke show, there will be some very modern sounding songs about love, family life, the importance of friends, and the search for meaning; some traditional music reminiscent of Appalachian old-time music, including high-energy banjo driven stompers; and some wickedly funny songs about the joy of cooking, sardines, and yodelling. It’s quite a ride. Richard Barry, Roots Music Canada

Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun and The Rite of Spring
2025-02-08 19:30 | Northern Arts and Cultural Centre (NACC), 4701 52nd Ave, Yellowknife, NT, X1A 2N7, Canada
THE RITE OF SPRING

In Marie Chouinard’s work, The Rite of Spring occupies a special position. In choosing to re-examine this powerful hymn to life, she has created her first choreography based on a musical score. Igor Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring explores a New World and marks the entry of dance into modernity. In this avant-garde work, Marie Chouinard again finds an original pulsation that is essential to her movement. Far from contradicting the rhythm of her dance, the cadence and force of the music inspire, accompany and energize her, forming both the echo and the musical counterpoint of an organic, vigorous and vivid choreography.

There is no story in my Rite- no development, no cause and effect. Only synchronicity. It is as if I were dealing with the very moment after the instant life first appeared. The performance is the unfolding of that moment. I have the feeling that before that moment there was an extraordinary burst of light, a flash of lightning.
Marie Chouinard

Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun

When he wrote the Afternoon of a Faun in 1876, Stéphane Mallarmé fulfilled a dream: to write poetry for the theatre. The poem’s musicality inspired Claude Debussy to compose Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun in 1894. In 1912, in Paris, Vaslav Nijinski created his first choreography, based on Mallarmé’s poem. In it, he gave life – intense and sensual life – to his own raw and animalistic erotic nature, thereby abruptly breaking with classical tradition.

This show contains partial nudity. Please contact the box office if you require more information.

BEHIND THE WORK

Bach to Benny Goodman
2025-02-28 19:30 | Northern Arts and Cultural Centre (NACC), 4701 52nd Ave, Yellowknife, NT, X1A 2N7, Canada
A Co-Production with

Imaginative musical mastery, unorthodox arrangements and tight ensemble playing… WHOLENOTE MAGAZINE

The only duo of clarinet and digital accordion, Bridge & Wolak fuse technology, virtuosity, and improv comedy to create an unforgettable concert experience. Bach to Benny Goodman begins with refined baroque music, journeys through smoky Parisian jazz clubs and Polish fields, and arrives in New York for the music of the ‘King of Swing’—Benny Goodman.

Every performance is riotously unique with Bridge & Wolak’s signature explosive comedy and audience engagement.

About The Artists

Michael Bridge began playing when he was 5 and growing up in Calgary. His mom bought an accordion at a garage sale for $5. A family friend started teaching him to play by ear. Formal lessons began at 7.Today he performs on a digital accordion – essentially a computer housed in a conventional accordion case that can imitate the sound of just about any instrument you can imagine. He can single-handedly shake the rafters sounding like a full rock drum kit or a symphony orchestra.He’s also a master of the more familiar acoustic accordion, a soulful, highly expressive instrument.

Wolak received his doctorate from the Paderewski Music Academy in Poznan, Poland. He grew up in Włocławek, a small city west of Warsaw. His parents were both professional musicians and by the age of 5, Wolak was taking piano lessons and dreaming of becoming a famous musician. At 12, Wolak took up the clarinet and became obsessed with mastering the instrument. At 16 he left home for studies at the conservatory in Poznan. Later he moved to Canada which offered him a safe harbour, a place to launch a stellar international career as a soloist and an offramp to pursue his impressive academic achievements.

Children of God
2025-04-05 19:30 | Northern Arts and Cultural Centre (NACC), 4701 52nd Ave, Yellowknife, NT, X1A 2N7, Canada
Children of God is must-see theatre for Canadians. Marsha Lederman, The Globe and Mail

Children of God is a musical about an Oji-Cree family whose children were taken away to a residential school in Northern Ontario. The story of Rita, a mother who was never let past the school’s gate, and her kids, Tom and Julia, who never knew she came, pushes toward redemption. Children of God offers a blend of ancient traditions and contemporary realities, celebrating resilience and the power of the Indigenous cultural spirit. Inspired by First Nations music, Corey Payette’s moving score also includes echoes of provocative Broadway masterpieces such as Fun Home and Next to Normal.Children of God takes place in two time periods during the 1950s and 1970s, and is set during a time when it is mandatory by law for all Indigenous children to attend residential schools.Performed in English and Anishinaabemowin, this musical is a tremendously impactful piece that explores the history and intergenerational impacts of the residential school system and provides a platform for dialogue about what happened to Indigenous communities in Canada.

“It’s an opportunity for our settler allies to experience the story seen through the eyes of an Indigenous family. What would it have been like if it had been your child? Once people put themselves in those shoes, we’re going to see real, lasting change in our communities.”
Corey Payette, playwright

Touring for the first time since 2019, we are thrilled to announce that the award-winning production, Children of God, is coming to Yellowknife at the Northern Arts and Culture Centre in April, 2025. Performed in English and Anishinaabemowin, this musical is a tremendously impactful piece that explores the history and intergenerational effects of the residential school system, and provides a platform for dialogue about what happened to Indigenous communities in Canada.

CELEBRATING THE RESILIENCE AND POWER OF THE INDIGENOUS CULTURAL SPIRIT

BEHIND THE WORK

Corey Payette is an interdisciplinary storyteller, writer, composer, director in theatre and film. He is a member of the Mattagami First Nations, with French Canadian and Irish ancestry, and lives on the unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and səl’ilwətaɁɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) peoples.Known for his deeply moving, large-scale original musical creations, Payette’s work challenges the public’s notion of what musicals can be, inserting Indigenous perspectives and narratives into mainstream spaces, igniting conversations that inspire social change. Payette’s work explores themes of colonization, Indigenous language revitalization, cultural healing, reconciliation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples, and the complexity of historic and contemporary Indigenous experiences across music, theatre, and film.
