Ikumagialiit (those that need fire)
9 March / 21.00
Black Box teater, Store scene

Ikumagialiit (those that need fire) is a quartet performance art band with Laakkuluk Williamson Bathory, Cris Derksen and Christine Tootoo. The Ikumagialiit quartet is egalitarian, bringing together four strong women from different disciplines, across generations. Turning towards the question of how to hold space for fear when pressure is mounting, Ikumagialiit takes on the metaphor of the bowhead whale, learning how to breathe in the depths and exploring Inuit practices of meditation and spiritual skill-building to make this journey.

Laakkuluk Williamson Bathory is an artist that applies her study of uaajeerneq (Greenlandic mask dancing) and understandings of Inuit philosophies into many genres, from performance art and theatre to writing and curatorial work. Laakkuluk is the first Artistic Director of Qaggiavuut, a nonprofit society in Nunavut supporting Inuit artists and advocating for a Nunavut performing arts centre.

Cris Derksen, originally from Northern Alberta, comes from a line of chiefs from the NorthTall Cree Reserve on her father’s side and a line of strong Mennonite homesteaders on her mother’s. Cris is a classically trained cellist and composer that braids the traditional and contemporary, weaving her classical background and her Indigenous ancestry together with new school electronics to create genre-defying music.

Christine Tootoo is an enigmatic and captivating actor in film and theatre. Christine has toured as a drummer and throat singer with the Inuksuk Drum Dancers to Ottawa, Iqaluit and Greenland, and she is a button accordion player, mentoring with renowned Nunavut masters Simeonie Keenainak, Zeebedee Nungaq and Jeannie Nungaq.
