The Show

What happens when a message that could save your life is in a language you were forbidden to learn?

Wilma, renowned for its powerful performance, is an act of resistance that gives voice to the silenced. In this monologue, Itzhel Razo explores the wounds of racism, classism, and decolonization from a personal perspective, revealing how language can be a tool of exclusion. Through poetic and physical language, the play transforms the body and the spoken word into a cry for cultural memory, the Mayan language, and denied identity.

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.
