“she who lives on the road to war,” is an evening dance performance created by choreographer Rosy Simas with her longtime collaborator, composer François Richomme in response to global loss and the collective need to come together in peace and reconciliation. The project takes its title from the name of a Haudenosaunee historical figure, Jigonhsasee, whose wisdom and vision helped Hiawatha and the Peacemaker bring the Nations together as the Haudenosaunee Confederacy. In the work, Simas considers rest, refuge, grieving, condoling, and cultivating a deep attention as a way of being together.
