Fae May Day (fran&ccedil;ais en bas) On this flower moon we gather to protest the implicit and explicit control of our bodies through dance.&nbsp; Live music - 9:30-10:30pm DJ setsaduunya - 10:30-1:30Ellxandra - 1:30-4:30 We are dancing on the soil our Indigenous brothers and sisters have tilled, have bled and laughed in since time immemorial. As our feet kick stones we communicate with the memories and stories of the Kanien&rsquo;keha:ka Nation (People of the Flint) Keepers of the Eastern Door, and all the Indigenous Peoples who have traveled here from far and wide.&nbsp; Indigenous artists at risk of or experiencing homelessness are co-organizing and hosting this festival. It doubles as an inauguration of the Tlachiuak theatre space - a much needed cultural centre for Inuit, M&eacute;tis, First Nations and ally/accomplice artists.&nbsp; Jour de mai des F&eacute;es En cette pleine lune des fleurs, nous nous rassemblons pour protester, par la danse, contre le contr&ocirc;le implicite et explicite de nos corps. Musique en direct - 21h30-22h30 DJ setsaduunya - 22h30-1h30Ellxandra - 1h30-4h30 Nous dansons sur la terre que nos fr&egrave;res et s&oelig;urs autochtones ont cultiv&eacute;e, o&ugrave; ils ont vers&eacute; leur sang et ri depuis la nuit des temps. Nos pieds frappent les pierres, et nous communiquons avec les souvenirs et les r&eacute;cits de la Nation Kanien&rsquo;keha:ka (Peuple du Silex), Gardiens de la Porte de l&rsquo;Est, et de tous les peuples autochtones venus de loin. Des artistes autochtones en situation d&rsquo;itin&eacute;rance ou &agrave; risque coorganisent et animent ce festival. Il marque &eacute;galement l&rsquo;inauguration de l&rsquo;espace th&eacute;&acirc;tral Tlachiuak, un centre culturel essentiel pour les artistes inuits, m&eacute;tis, des Premi&egrave;res Nations et leurs alli&eacute;s.
