\nWhen William, a modern-day M\u00e9tis music student, is handed a 1918 opera about Creek\/Cherokee Mezzo Soprano\u00a0Tsianina Redfeather, he learns more than just an aria as he begins to unravel the complex circumstances faced by Indigenous performers past and present. Seen and Unseen worlds collide as Tsianina appears to William, the two learning from each other as he makes a decision about his future as an artist. Combining humour, biography, and contemporary opera, this interdisciplinary work explores the tension between representation, inspiration and cultural appropriation.<\/p>\n
I Call myself Princess\u00a0is inspired by, and features music from,\u00a0Shanewis: The Robin Woman, the real opera about Tsianina Redfeather composed by her creative partner Charles Wakefield Cadman, an American composer in the early 1900\u2019s who was part of a musical movement using Indigenous music to create a distinct North American musical identity.<\/p>\n
