The myth behind Th’owxiya: the Hungry Feast Dish is as deliciously dark as anything the Brothers Grimm could have cooked up. In Joseph A. Dandurand’s play, six storytellers from the Kwantlen First Nations Village of Squa’lets (including Merewyn Comeau, pictured), spin the tale of Th’owxiya, whose mouth holds the world’s most wonderful foods. The catch? If you steal from her, as a brave mouse does here, she’ll eat you. Axis Theatre brings it all to life with its usual spectacular mix of masks and music, all in the gorgeous outdoor setting of the Roseline Sturdy Amphitheatre at UBC Botanical Gardens, June 24 and 25 and July 1 and 2 at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. Performances are free, but you need to register at Eventbrite.
