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?
Performed by Morden’s Candlewick Players accompanied by a multimedia artistic team devised of both Winnipeg and rural artists.
Created with support from TPM, Manitoba Arts Council, and Manitoba Association of Playwrights.
