The world has drastically changed: rivers run dry, rampant bushfires leave little left to burn. Still she persists searching for the stories of her loved ones, maybe even her own. She is not alone—an ancestor watches nearby. This desolate landscape is about to unearth its long-held secrets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInspired by the grassroots organization Drag the Red, which searches for evidence of Missing Indigenous Women, Girls, and 2 Spirit People in the Red River of Treaty One Territory, this ethereal and engrossing drama is a profound offering to those who persevere in spite of sorrow. Told in Anishinaabemowin, English, and French, Tara Beagan’s prophetic play draws a direct connection between the treatment of Indigenous peoples and the abuse inflicted on the land. Fluid and majestic like the river itself, Rise, Red River is an invocation, a revelation, and a call to action.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Playwrights Canada Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56394860396849,"sku":"yhp1789935537562","price":9.53,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0993\/0925\/7009\/files\/rise-red-river-anishinaabemowin-english-french_1.jpg?v=1789935542","url":"https:\/\/canistersealfit.shop\/products\/rise-red-river-anishinaabemowin-english-french","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
