Shahin Sayadi: Halifax

Onelight Theatre Dept: We re under the same sky and alone with the same tree as Hawk, says writer-director Shahin Sayadi, artistic director of Halifax s Onelight Theatre, according to The Chronicle Herald. Sayadi originally came to Canada in 1986 as a young man from Iran and people will sit under the wings of a giant hawk, like being under a tent, for Onelight Theatre s new play about a Mi kmaq youth named Hawk. He was inspired to write Hawk or How He Plays His Song by his experiences sundancing every July in Big Cove, N.B., for the last 12 years and by his friendship with his teacher, William Nevin, cultural advisor for this play.
