The Royal Winnipeg Ballet returns to The Banff Centre’s Eric Harvie Theatre for one night only this Saturday to present their powerful work exploring residential schools, indigenous culture, and healing – Going Home Star – Truth and Reconciliation.

CBC News has called this “the most important dance mounted by the Royal Winnipeg Ballet in its illustrious 75 year history”.  I asked Artistic Director Andre Lewis if he felt the weight of the material as the production was coming together.  We also spoke about the inspiration behind the work and how this was their contribution to making our country a better place.

Tickets are available at the Banff Centre Box Office and online.
