LOON CALLS

Loon Calls is an immersive journey into the living language of the land, brought to life through music, story, and spoken word.  Mezzo-soprano Rebecca Hass (Georgian Bay Métis, European) bridges her Western classical training with the heartbeat of the kitchen parties she grew up with and the drum circles she sings in today.  Guided by a name given to her by Elders – Maanginoweh – “The voice of the loon on the lake” – Rebecca invites the audience into the shared space of listening, reflection, and reconnection.

At its heart, Loon Calls is about remembering that we are all connected.  This sharing in gathering invites us to slow down and truly listen together.  The land is still speaking:  through the rhythm of the seasons, the pull of the moon, the quiet hum beneath our feet.  Loon Calls helps us tune back in – reminding us that story, song, and vibration are pathways to belonging.  As we move from disconnection to connection – with each other, with place, and with a broader national story – Loon Calls asks:  Are we ready to listen?  Are we ready to raise our voices and sing with the land?
