- Summary:
- "The War Being Waged is a poetic and unflinchingly truthful examination of what happens when patriotism and sovereignty collide. An Indigenous mother becomes an activist while her brother becomes a soldier. A grandmother speaks to her granddaughter from prison. A granddaughter, filled with turmoil, struggles to accept her family's history. Three generations of Indigenous women try to connect the pieces of their lives after experiencing all the ways Canada has torn them apart. A mix of three performance genres --monologue, poetry with video and movement, and contemporary dance -- are woven together in this stunning work by Winnipeg theatre artist Darla Contois."-- Publisher's Description.
