| Summary: | Reckoning is a triptych of three short plays. Witness is a dance-movement piece featuring a Truth and Reconciliation Commissioner who unravels as he confronts the brutal testimony of residential school survivors. In Daughter, the daughter of a teacher who was accused of rape seduces her father's accuser. And Survivor is a virtuoso solo piece about a man preparing to commit suicide as a protest against the insufficiencies of the reconciliation process. Agonizing, poignant, theatrical, hilarious and true, Reckoning illuminates the difficulties of trying to come to terms with our country's painful past. |
