Proud Sponsor of the Dramatic Performance “The Mush Hole”
DJB Human Resources Advisory proudly sponsors the upcoming dramatic performance of “The Mush Hole” on Tuesday, March 22 at the First Ontario Performing Arts Centre (Niagara).
The Mush Hole is a theatrical dance performance about the truths of Canada’s first Indian residential school – The Mohawk Institute. From 1828-1970, State and Church attempted to forcefully assimilate children from Six Nations and surrounding First Nations into Euro-Christian society and sever the continuity of culture from parent to child. The Mush Hole weaves through the traumatic memories of two generations of Survivors. Visceral performances by an all Indigenous cast, cinematic imagery and musical score catapult audiences into the bricks and mortar of the school. Created from Survivor testimonials, it is a story about hope and finding light in dark places.
