SALMON GIRL

Salmon Girl explores the world of water and salmon. Through theatre, dance, music and puppetry, this piece for all ages follows the journey of a young girl into this magical world. A visually stunning work that shares a First Nations perspective on the importance of Salmon.

Choreographer Michelle Olson from the Tr’ondek Hwech’in First Nation and playwright Quelemia Sparrow from the Musquem First Nation bring together their respective cultural perspectives and stories to create a piece that is both meaningful and delightful to all audiences.

Suitable for family audience’s ages 6+

REVIEWS & QUOTES

“Writer/director Quelemia Sparrow has created a delightful, age appropriate, show full of music, dance, laughs, flowing costumes and cleverly fashioned puppets. If engaging the emotions and having fun is the way to help children internalize the need to honour our relationship with water, Salmon Girl will get the job done.” – Muskrat Magazine
