She Holds Up The Stars
The TSO is thrilled to unveil a newly commissioned work based on Sandra Laronde’s award-winning début novel, She Holds Up the Stars. This new creation combines a contemporary original story with life-sized puppets, dance, storytelling, visual art, screen design, and orchestral music. Enter the world of an adolescent Indigenous girl navigating the challenges stacked against her amid a mesmerizing natural landscape. Her life undergoes a dramatic transformation upon encountering a wild horse, cruelly broken by a local rancher and his son. Tensions flare, causing ongoing discord within the rez and on the ranch. As she unexpectedly bonds with the horse, she discovers a strength within herself that reshapes her connection to home, land, and heart.
