Vancouver
VANCOUVER PLAY EXPLORES THEMES OF INDIGENOUS PERSPECTIVES AND INTERNALIZED
RACISM

What happens when you bring together two Canadian families, one Indigenous and
another non-Indigenous at a dinner plate for the first ever time during Truth
and Reconciliation Week.
The solution is right in front of you. White Noise, a new Canadian play making
its premiere at Vancouver’s Firehall Arts Centre this week.
Although the production is funny, the producers claim it addresses serious
issues such as what it means to be Canadian from different perspectives and how
we react to internalized racism.
And while getting the play to stage is an accomplishment, it’s one director
Renae Morrisseau described as “bittersweet.”
That’s because playwright Taran Kootenhayoo died at 27 in December, without ever
seeing the production get its run.
“We’re kind of grieving through the rehearsal process,” Morrisseau told Global
News.
“It was written before we found the graves, it was written before the pandemic.”

Kootenhayoo was a promising young playwright, poet, actor, and advocate who
began work on the piece almost four years ago.
The show was supposed to have a spring run in 2013, but it was canceled by the
COVID-19 pandemic.
The script drew on Kootenhayoo’s own life experiences, highlighting what it is
like to be an Indigenous person dealing with daily racism.
“Even some of the characters in the play are characters from when he was a kid,”
Cheyanna Kootenhayoo, the play’s assistant director and Taran’s sister,
explained.
“He wanted the audience to feel cringy awkwardness … there are just so many
moments where it makes you feel uncomfortable you know, but that was the
purpose.”
The plot follows an evening at t he home of a family in Vancouver’s wealthy
Point Grey neighbourhood, as they host a welcome dinner for their new Indigenous
neighbours, who just made a hefty profit from selling an app to Microsoft.
Morrisseau explained that the production will spark discussion about benevolent
racism and how insidious it can be, among others.
Although the production is only available in Vancouver until May 1, producers
hope to have it performed across North America.
