{"product_id":"9781770913479","title":"Medicine Shows: Indigenous Performance Culture","description":"Contemporary Indigenous theatre in Canada is only thirty-three years old, if one begins counting from the premiere of Maria Campbell’s Jessica in Saskatoon and the establishment of Native Earth Performing Arts in Toronto. Since those contemporaneous events in 1982, the Canadian community of Indigenous theatre artists has grown and inspired one another.\u003cem\u003eMedicine Shows: Indigenous Performance Culture\u003c\/em\u003e traces the work of a host of these artists over the past three decades, illuminating the connections, the artistic genealogy, and the development of a contemporary Indigenous theatre practice. Neither a history nor a chronicle,\u003cem\u003eMedicine Shows\u003c\/em\u003e examines how theatre has been used to make medicine, reconnecting individuals and communities, giving voice to the silenced and disappeared, staging ceremony, and honouring the ancestors.","brand":"Playwrights Union of Canada","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47149967606000,"sku":"9781770913479","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781770913479_p0.jpg?v=1769889763","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781770913479","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
