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.

"This $1.6 billion is old wine in new bottles. Part of it was already approved by Congress after last year's G7 meeting, and half of it will have to be repaid. Before going to Vancouver, Yeltsin joked that he hoped for $100 billion, but that's the amount Germany has put into the former East Germany in order to integrate it into the capitalist economy. Germany has also been pumping hundreds of millions of dollars into Russia, but you would hardly know it here.

"This money is basically a symbolic gesture. If it is followed by real money it will make a difference. If not, Yeltsin is in trouble. In January, 1992, after the G7 announced $24 billion worth of aid to Russia, Yeltsin began his economic shock treatment, but barely half of the money materialized because Russia was not able to meet the strict conditions imposed by the G7 and International Monetary Fund. They demanded cutting subsidies, closing factories, laying off workers - the resulting social unrest would have been too high a price to pay. Russians suffered, and still suffer, and gained nothing. So, you can understand the skepticism.

"Russians find it humiliating accepting aid from the West. Before 1985, it was Russia who provided aid to Third World countries. A great many Russians feel that their country has everything it needs to look after itself. There are plenty of resources and

She smiles yes, meanwhile raging inside at their insensitivity to the fact that she is working. · There seemed to be a consensus in the workshop that to ask the two to speak else­ where, in order that they not disturb the secretary's work, was out of the question. It could be misunderstood, one secretary in the group said, and there could be repercus­ sions. It would be better, she said, to report such behaviour to the department chair, or simply unplug the phone.

Intimidation

This was an unequal situation, many felt, and frequently in such situations there is a climate of intimidation. "She's silenced," said a participant. However, Patricia Posius, Assistant to the Director of Computing Services, said she advises the three secretaries under her to assert themselves, particularly the one who doubles as a receptionist.

-- • EARTH PLAY continued from 1 $200 from the Office of the Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Science. The Anglican Church of Canada pitched in as well, and the Royal Bank came through with $1,000. "People were quite generous," Galipeau stated. She said financial support from within the University came "right away." Concordia's Theatre Department is giving Galipeau course credits for her work on Earth Whispers, treating it as an inde­ pendent study. Galipeau 's previous theatrical experience includes going to a native theatre school in Georgian Bay last summer. The rigourous six-week programme included 17-hour days. The troupe performed for a variety of audiences, including native inmates at the federal men's and women's penitentiaries in Kingston, Ont. Galipeau hopes to have a career in law, but she doesn't want to leave behind the theatre. "I really would like to get into native law.
