Axis Theatre is thrilled to bring you TH’OWXIYA: THE HUNGRY FEAST DISH, written by Kwantlen elder, Joseph A. Dandurand, a deliciously dark Kwantlen First Nations fable. Indigenous storytellers spin a tale from the Village of Squa’lets, about Th’owxiya, an old and powerful spirit that inhabits a feast dish. Her dish holds beautiful foods from around the world but careful, stealing from her is dangerous business because Th'owxiya has developed a taste for children. When Th’owxiya catches a hungry mouse, Kw’at’el, stealing a piece of cheese from her mouth she demands two child spirits be brought for her to eat or else she will eat Kw’at’el's whole family.
Ignorant to her own power yet desperate to save her family, Kw’at’el sets forth on a journey to fulfill Th'owxiya's demand. With the help of the Sqeweqs (raven), Spa:th (bear), and Sasq’ets (sasquatch), Kw’at’el finds alternate gifts to appease the goddess and the journey becomes one of knowledge, understanding, friendship and forgiveness. It has a simple teaching: when you take something from the earth, you must give something back or else there won’t be anything left for future generations. It is sure to enchant audiences of all ages!

This performance can play in a variety of indoor and outdoor venues dependent on your community needs and the time of year.

“…what makes Th’owxiya: The Hungry Feast Dish truly unforgettable is in its engaging story steeped in tradition.”
