  • Split tooth

    Creator

    Tagaq, Tanya

    Abstract

    From the internationally acclaimed Inuit throat singer who has dazzled and enthralled the world with music it had never heard before, a fierce, tender, heartbreaking story unlike anything you've ever read. Fact can be as strange as fiction. It can also be as dark, as violent, as rapturous. In the end, there may be no difference between them. A girl grows up in Nunavut in the 1970s. She knows joy, and friendship, and parents' love. She knows boredom, and listlessness, and bullying.

    An interactive site-specific audio fiction is set into the landscape of a city park in eastern Canada, experienced via an iphone app. Short stories by four award-winning authors are GPS-linked to actual locations where the story events happen.

This program is for listeners who can't get to the park: a virtual walk-through. It is what one walker hears in her earphones as she strolls through the park.
