WORLD PREMIERE
A Musical by Corey Payette
Produced by Raven Theatre in collaboration with Urban Ink (Vancouver)
A dive into the heart of contemporary Indigenous narratives, On Native Land is a sweeping love story with a focus on urban Indigenous communities, offering solace and solidarity.
Corey Payette’s contemporary score has a driving force rooted in the drum, grounding the music in Indigenous tradition while soaring melodies echo groundbreaking Broadway scores such as Company and Dear Evan Hansen. Richly textured and emotionally charged, his compositions bridge ancestral and modern tonalities, creating a soundscape that is both timeless and boldly innovative.
Join us for the world premiere of this electrifying new musical by Corey Payette, a composer and director who has earned critical acclaim for works that offer an Indigenous perspective through incredible storytelling including Children of God, Starwalker, and Les Filles du Roi.
