About the event

Join us for an evening of multidisciplinary magic at The Bus Stop Theatre, the gem of Halifax's North End.

This evening will guide audiences on a journey of auditory and visual exploration in three acts: an art installation by Shianne Gould available before, during, and after the performances, a poetry & dance set by Dáminí Awóyígà, and a full performance of Residuals (住み・墨) by Shion Skye Carter.

Residuals (住み・墨)

Drawing on visual, sonic, and physical influences from Japanese calligraphy integrated with dynamic choreography, Shion Skye Carter reinterprets the traditional form through a contemporary lens. Residuals (住み・墨) takes audiences on a personal journey of self-discovery, where the inner layers of Shion’s identity begin to unfurl.

 

Damini and AfroQueens

Dáminí and AfroQueens present a captivating performance combining poetry, music, and dance, featuring renowned spoken word poet Dáminí Awóyígà and talented dancers who will bring the poetry to life through their movements. The visually stunning blend of dance and poetry will take the audience on a journey through history, rhythm, and emotion.
