Queen Elizabeth School will be one of 38 Saskatchewan schools to host “Mistatim”, a Red Sky performance about the taming of a wild horse and the truest of friendships. It will be hosted by the Organization of Saskatchewan Arts Councils (OSAC) on Thursday, March 30.
In the performance, “under a prairie sky, a simple wooden fence is all that separates Calvin on his ranch and Speck on her reservation, but in many ways they are worlds apart, that is — until a wild horse named Mistatim turns their worlds upside down.”
Mistatim is a story of reconciliation for children and their families, and combines dance, theatre, mask, storytelling into one unforgettable experience. Mistatim vibrates with energetic freedom and thrilling eye-opening discovery. The curriculum connections include language arts, literature, science, social studies and fine arts.
