Chaakapesh

Music, Canada 2020

The Montreal Symphony Orchestra and its famous conductor Kent Nagano tour Northern Quebec to visit Cree, Innu and Inuit communities. The performances showcase an indigenous chamber opera whose mission is to teach white men to laugh again and therefore love others more. Chaakapesh the Trickster – written by Tomson Highway, composed by Matthew Ricketts and performed by the Montreal Symphony Orchestra – is the most evocative and modern example of intercultural collaboration.
