blood.claat , written by d'bi.young.anitafrika and directed by Weyni Mengesha, fuses theatre and dub poetry in this one ‘womban’ story of blood. Mudgu comes of age, struggles with her first menstruation, chafes against her grandmother, endures her overly-religious aunt, nurtures a crush on her strutting neighbour and morphs into Yemoja, an African goddess who creates the world with her blood. Produced by Toronto’s Theatre Passe Muraille, the show won two Dora Awards, the National Post Solo Phenomena of the Year Award, and the RBC Emerging Artists Award. blood.claat plays June 4-9 at the Firehall Arts Centre.
This production is part of the Magnetic North Theatre Festival, which runs June 4-14, 2008. For more information visit www.magneticnorththeatrefestival.ca or call (604) 638-7489.
