Une poignante manifestation des tribulations tant historiques que contemporaines des peuples noirs et autochtones en Nouvelle-Écosse prend vie grâce à la grande complicité créative qui lie Rhodnie Désir aux musiciens Owen Lee et Keigan Sack. L’œuvre BOW’T-Canada élève la voix des sans-voix et projette la lumière sur le courage des âmes que l’on tente d’étouffer.

“Both the Acadians who are deported, both the Micmacs who don't have this land cession, both the Afro-descendants ... from my point of view as a choreographer, the human is all the time pushing back what tries to grow on it.“

- A quote from Rhodnie Désir
