The Land Acknowledgement or As You Like It
5 – 9 Jun • Southbank Centre, Purcell Room at Queen Elizabeth Hall
Cliff Cardinal aims to surprise and provoke with his Land Acknowledgement or As you Like It.
Cultural provocateur Cliff Cardinal revisits Shakespeare’s timeless tale of mistaken identities, gentle ruses and banishment in this show that exults in difficult subject matter.
Dubbed "the Canadian arts surprise of the year" by The Globe and Mail, Cardinal's brilliant play, The Land Acknowledgement or As You Like It, offers you the unvarnished truth of the state of the reconciliation process between Indigenous communities and colonial settlers in Canada. When the curtains rise, prepare for Shakespeare as you’ve never seen him before and likely never will again.
