This dance theatre piece follows the teachings of L’nu (Mi’kmaw) women carrying a fire ember through the winter season—three moons of winter. Legends, star stories, and contemporary dance express the harsh realities of living off the land in a long ago Mi’kma’ki winter. If the women were able to keep the ember going until the Spring Equinox, there would be a celebration to honour the women and the return of spring.
