Tue Feb 3, 7:30pm | For the first time on ArtSpring’s stage, Canada’s celebrated Royal Winnipeg Ballet presents selections from a compelling double bill. T’əl: The Wild Man of the Woods is a bold new work choreographed by Cameron Fraser-Monroe, unfolding a Coast Salish legend through Indigenous storytelling, ballet, and a haunting score by Two-Spirit composer Cris Derksen. Narrated in Ayajuthem and English by Elder Elsie Paul, it’s a landmark piece by a fully Indigenous creative team. Paired with Carmina Burana—a visually striking, high-energy ballet choreographed by Mauricio Wainrot to Carl Orff’s epic cantata—this program contrasts ancient legend with explosive modernity. Featuring a select ensemble of 12 dancers, this performance delivers a rare chance to witness the Royal Winnipeg Ballet’s artistry in an intimate setting.
