Taking On Water Poster

Synopsis

In the fall of 2021, playwright Robert Chafe set out on an interview tour of eastern Newfoundland, asking residents of coastal communities why they live where they live, and how they might see their future. The response revealed tales of unprecedented challenge, boundless optimism, and some things stranger than fiction. Taking on Water marries the music of Randolph Peters as played by Duo Concertante with five original magic realism stories by Chafe and the choreography of Louise Moyes to offer a new way to think about the love, risk, and resilience of living on the edge of a changing ocean. 

The creation of Taking on Water was supported in part by Future Ocean and Coastal Infrastructures, an Ocean Frontier Institute project. Research funding was provided by the Ocean Frontier Institute, through an award from the Canada First Research Excellence Fund. The provincial tour of Taking on Water is supported by PAL Airlines and the Tuckamore Music Festival.
