Document Summary
Dry lips ought to move to kapuskasing is a 1989 play production by tomson highway that predominantly revolves around controversial themes of: religion, the impacts of post- colonialism on native culture, and the mistreatment of women. The object of this essay, is to help audience members and readers come to terms with the gender-based power imbalances that are reiterated by the theater production element, acting style. One scene in particular will be examined the rape of patsy pegahmagahbow and what follows after with an emphasis on how a number of minor alterations in acting style can change the audience"s perception of the play. In this scene, the audience is finally forced to go face-to-face with the rape culture that surrounds the reserve. It is no longer eluded to in jokes and passive comments by characters, it is very real (and very bloody).
