The Martian and the Mound (OPENING NIGHT)

Written by Andraea Sartison

With contributions from the citizens of Southern Manitoba

In Partnership with Candlewick Productions, and with One Trunk Theatre as part of the Live Art Trade Route

Performed by Morden’s Candlewick Players accompanied by a multimedia artistic team devised of both Winnipeg and rural artists. 

The Martian and The Mound is a time-bending, prairie-rooted theatrical romp that follows Dr. Phoenix Albright, an archaeologist from Mars, as they investigate a mysterious “pull” beneath a Manitoba mound.

Guided by ghosts, memories, and extinct animals, Albright travels through pivotal moments in the region’s past—from the tallgrass prairie to the future’s last sunset. This play blends myth, memory, and local voices, asking: in the eyes of history, what makes a moment worth remembering?

Created with support from TPM, Manitoba Arts Council, and Manitoba Association of Playwrights.
