Screening: Where We Belong

Free
Join us on Thursday, May 9th at 6:30 p.m. for a screening of Where We Belong, by Madeline Sayet. Presented by Dancing Pony Productions.
Where We Belong is a personal story of an Indigenous theatre-maker’s journey across geographic borders, personal history, and cultural legacies; in search of a place to belong. Sayet’s autobiographical account in Where We Belong shares her experience pursuing a Ph.D. in Shakespeare in England. There she finds a country that refuses to acknowledge its role in colonialism while echoing a journey to England braved by Native ancestors in the 1700s following treatise betrayals, forcing us to consider what it means to belong in an increasingly globalized world.
The play Where We Belong opened at the Goodman Theatre in 2022.
