UNIVERSITY OF WATERLOO DRAMA DEPARTMENT PRESENTS

on love 

directed and dramaturged by Naila Keleta-Mae

Run: February 6-9th at 8pm & Feb. 8th & 9th at 2pm

 

Created by UW Drama's own Dr. Naila Keleta-Mae in 2008, on love was further
developed by UW Drama students during Dr. Keleta-Mae's Performance Creation
course in the fall.  

 

on love is a play about love and legacy; it is a Canadian story about the
historic site in St. Armand, Quebec called Nigger Rock.  In the 19th
Century, black people - slaves, free tradesmen, and travellers - lived in
St. Armand and buried their dead at the base of an enormous dark-coloured
bolder that was, and still is, called Nigger Rock.  The bolder sits on
private land.  It is not officially recognized as a cemetery. 

 

Faculty collaborators, Bill Chesney (set/props) and Sharon E. Secord
(costumes), have worked with local designer Kirsten Watt (lighting) and
Montreal designer Pohanna Pyne Feinberg (sound) to transform our small black
box theatre into a space where past and present collide.

 

Featuring a diverse cast of uWaterloo students, on love is a moving piece
about the complexities of race, gender, history, and heteronormativity told
through a cast of eight who explore love's capacity to be a "fine balance
between hope and despair." (Rohinton Mistry)
