    Vol. 17 No. 25 April 22, 1993 Student would like play to raise environmental and native awareness Whisper DI hope tor native theatre Jules Koostachin Galipeau is hoping her play, Earth Whispers, will h~lp kick-start native theatre in Montreal. The play is co~written, produced and di­ rected by Galipeau. She also plays drums during the performance. A second-year Theatre major, the 20-year old said she wants "to spread native aware­ ness - to show that there are native artists out there. I want to start native theatre in Montreal." Earth Whispers opens today, April 22 - Earth Day - for a four-day run at the Cazalet Theatre on the Loyola Campus. Although the play is not based on a par­ ticular legend, it draws on the mythologies of several native traditions. "This myth is more a combination of everything I know," said Galipeau, a Cree from Moose Factory in northern Ontario. "It's a strange story; it's beautiful, it's really beautiful." In the play, Earth and Wind form a primor­ dial couple and the four peoples of the planet - red, yellow, white and black - spring from them. The earth's children dis­ perse, but, forgetting their roots and losing respect for the earth, they poison their mother. Eventually they are made to see the error of their ways, and an eagle sits in a spirit tree to watch over the four peoples. Galipeau said Earth Whispers is universal in that it doesn't use language. Instead the story is told through sound and movement. In Jules Koostachln Galipeau's play Earth Whispers, which opens tonight at the Caza let Theatre She hopes the accessibility of the play will on the Loyola Campus, the characters Earth and Wind produce the four peoples of the world, encourage parents to bring along their chil­ who later turn on them with poison.
