Notes:
Who Married Star Husbands is a short operetta based on a Mik’maq indigenous legend of two sisters who find themselves in the world above the sky while wishing on stars. This retelling examines the bonds between siblings, the tenuous nature of relationships and marriage, and what it means to truly shine. “The river breaks and we on its banks must choose a path. Where we go could be years of ecstasy, we could be a legend of the best desire.
