KOQM

KOQM means grandmother in Mi’kmaq. Go on a journey through time and land to experience the voices of fictional L’nu (Mi’kmaw) women.

A fallen tree has seen centuries of women who have lived and loved under its canopy. Meet the women who might have spoken and walked through one area of forest for centuries. Guided by the strength of an ancient tree (“koqm”), the women’s voices share with us their personal stories of grief, humour, and resiliency through this unique theatrical performance.

Performed outside around a bonfire, shalan joudry’s award winning production is something you have to experience. Winner of the 2023 Robert Merritt Theatre Award for Outstanding New Play.
