Turtle Island at Ganondagan

"Turtle Island" a new outdoor spectacle created by Plasticiens Volants under the artistic guidance of artist/culture worker G. Peter Jemison (Seneca, Heron Clan), with choreography and performance contributions by Bill Crouse, Sr. (Seneca/Hawk Clan) and Skywoman Iroquois Dance Theater. Co-produced by Unicycle Productions LLC and Plasticiens Volants.

This intimate, family-friendly production brings to life the Haudenosaunee Creation Story through a vibrant fusion of aerial puppetry, dance, and community engagement.

"While other humans in the world focused on great monuments of stone, the Haudenosaunee began with our human nature; the struggle to balance our emotions, those destructive versus peaceful. Can we today learn to love the world we have before mankind destroys every living thing? These twin and opposite emotions live within us. Our elders ask us to honor our teachings. Learn to find balance in our behavior toward one another."
