ROSA
presented by Curtain Razors, in partnership with Making Treaty 4 and New Dance Horizons
May 3 and 4, 2026
Globe Theatre Black Box
ROSA is a dance-theatre piece for a single performer, conceived, directed, and choreographed by Carlos Rivera Martinez. In this performance, the audience witnesses the displacement of Indigenous peoples on their own territory, a tragedy that resonates throughout the Americas. Through movement, theatre, photography, and documentary video, ROSA illuminates the power of the female body, its relationship to the land, and its capacity for resistance.
Please note, performance includes:
Partial nudity, fog, haze and some loud sound effects.
There is natural aspen used onstage.
We invite folks with respiratory sensitivities to mask to their comfort.
We will have some masks on hand.
Sunday May 3rd - 4.30pm
Monday May 4th - 7.30pm
Running Time: 60 minutes (each performance will be followed by a talkback and refreshments, please join us!)

Join us for a live playing of the board game culturecapital, created by Milton Lim and Patrick Blenkarn. Players navigate the competitive terrain of grant applications, revealing the complexities of arts funding!
The Saskatchewan edition of culturecapital was developed in partnership with Curtain Razors & Saskatchewan Arts Alliance, which contributed research and development to inform this special Saskatchewan edition. This event is being presented in partnership with Art Gallery of Regina.
The artists will engineer a sports-bar-meets-rave spectacle in which community members vie for grant success, and navigate today’s rapidly changing landscape of ethics, politics, and economics. An edge-of-the-seat event for both participants and the audience!
