Métis cabaret celebrates culture at Persephone Theatre

Persephone Theatre is welcoming an exciting cabaret to their stage titled Rubaboo, shining a spotlight on Métis culture.

“It’s a storytelling journey. It’s musical feast, and that’s what ‘rubaboo’ actually means. ‘Rubaboo’ is the Michif word for soup or stew. And so, this is a whole journey of a feast,” said Andrea Menard,co-writer and performer the show.

Menard, who wrote the cabaret along with Robert Walsh, says the performance showcases Métis culture, aiming to have people leave the theatre with a greater connection to Métis people.
