In the summer of 2015 Dance Saskatchewan worked with the office of the Treaty Commissioner to present Silent Survivors, a compelling take on the residential schools chapter in Canadian history, at Saskatoon’s Broadway Theatre. 

It ran from July 18 to Aug. 22. 

“The power of this performance is that it relays an incredibly hard story to hear but it offers such a hopeful way forward,” says Linda Coe-Kirkham, executive director, Dance Saskatchewan.

“Many in the audience were moved to share their thoughts afterward and it was uplifting to read so many encouraging messages of hope and reconciliation, which is what Silent Survivors is ultimately all about. The audience response was largely positive with many people expressing a commitment to reconciliation. It’s our hope that more Saskatchewan communities will invite us in to share these messages."
