This visually stunning and powerful production uses myth, magic, music and dance to follow the adventures of Hiawatha, from his childhood with Nakomis, his love for the beautiful Minnehaha, to his vision of the destruction of the native American nation. Specially commissioned and researched in the 6 Nations Reserve, Ontario, this 'authentic and atmospheric interpretation of Longfellow's poem' (The Stage) explores one of the enduring legends of America's First Nations.
