After a year of performances and installations at locations around Victoria, the city’s first Indigenous artist-in-residence is taking over the stage at the Belfry Theatre this weekend.
Iroquois Mohawk artist Lindsay Delaronde said Pendulum: An Indigenous Showcase will bring together more than 40 performers of traditional and modern dance, drumming and storytelling.
Delaronde said the opportunity to present a full 75-minute program with nine separate acts is a first in Victoria, where most public events begin by acknowledging the unceded Indigenous territories on which they take place.
