ROSA

Carlos Rivera
(Turtle Island)

The Show

An ode to women’s power
and their ability to move mountains.

Rosa, a peasant Indigenous woman from Ixtacamaxtitlan, flees her community with her six small children on her back. As she escapes a life of abuse at the hands of her husband and her in-laws, she crosses valleys, climbs mountains, and faces enormous challenges. She arrives in Mexico City where she will face her greatest challenge yet: brutal discriminationforcing her to make a choice that will impact her, her children, and will reverberate for generations to come. Through movement, theatre, video and documentary, ROSA highlights the female body, its relationship to the land, and its capacity to resist, survive, and transform.

Acknowledge the Land & People

With gratitude and appreciation, MT Space acknowledges that we live, learn, and benefit on the traditional territory of
the Chonnonton, Anishinaabeg (Ojibway, Mississauga, Chippewa, and Algonquin), and Haudenosaunee Confederacy
(Six Nations including the Mohawk, Cayuga, Onondaga, Seneca, Oneida, and Tuscarora Nations).

This includes disputed territory known colonially as the Haldimand Tract,
which originally included six miles on each side of the Grand River, from the river’s source to Lake Erie.

We acknowledge our responsibilities to share land and resources peacefully
under the ‘Dish with One Spoon’ and ’Two Row’ covenants.

We honour that these Nations of people have been living on, working on, and caring for
this place from time immemorial and continue to do so today.
