Wake
Hey yall!!! I’m currently having a blast in Saskatoon working on The World Premier of WAKE by Rachel Mutombo and the beautiful Persephone Theatre !
The story follows Miriam Kabongo, the prodigal daughter, who is called home to the prairies for her father’s wake, arriving to a house which feels desolate without him. With sisters who have busy lives of their own, and a mother who is as impenetrable as ever, Miriam is forced to finally confront the family dynamic that has kept her away. As mourners gather over the weekend, grief collides with old wounds, generational divides, and secrets that refuse to stay buried. Bursting with life, Wake is full of heart, laughter, and plenty of family drama.
Want tickets. See the link below. And if you missed the chance to see it, we’ll be taking the show to WCT in January. More info on that to come. See you there!
