’s radical retelling of Shakespeare’s “As You Like It” premiered at Crow’s Theatre in 2021, all hell broke loose.
Cardinal’s performance balanced hot anger with surprising levity, and covered a wide gamut of anecdotes and statistics with gusto. Trick title or not, it was a superb piece of theatre, a conversation between artist and audience, and a testament to the power of marketing when making a show. Part standup, part dramatic monologue, “The Land Acknowledgement” pokes fun at white Canadians who offer trite acknowledgments instead of using their resources and platforms to make meaningful change.
