PROPHECY by Jessy Ardern
DIRECTED BY SUZIE MARTIN
MARCH 19 – 30, 2025
Cassandra has been blessed with the ability to see the future, but her curse is that no one will ever believe her. In a story that slides between the mythic past and the looming future, she witnesses the events of a war that will overcome her homeland and destroy her family.
Channeling the singular voices of the Trojan women—her mother and sisters—Cassandra takes us from the past and into the present as old visions of love, rage, and revenge collide with new ideals of safety, righteousness, and comfort, sending ripples across time and space.
LIVE ART TRADE ROUTE
TPM’s LIVE ART TRADE ROUTE is an umbrella initiative to build capacity and foster collaboration between theatre artists and communities across Manitoba.
As with our past CHAUTAUQUAS and THE TRAVELLING COLLABARET, we will share work reciprocally in Winnipeg and in rural communities. We hope that prioritizing community through this exchange will expand access to the arts across Manitoba, and draw new people of all walks of life who don’t necessarily see themselves as “theatre patrons.”
This cycle, the LATR supported Ellen Peterson’s Free Theatre pilot project at the Gargoyle Theatre in Winnipeg’s West End and we are in an ongoing partnership with One Trunk Theatre to bring their Talking Roots community collaboration project to communities in Southern Manitoba (Neubergthal, Altona and Morden).
