The Undeniable Accusations of Red Cadmium Light by Drew Hayden Taylor

World Premiere! February 24 - March 8, 2026

Nazhi Nigig runs an art gallery on the Otter Lake First Nation. She is famous for spotting counterfeits of the work of Norval Morrisseau and other renowned Indigenous artists, using special techniques - such as noticing the use of Red Cadmium Light, a paint colour that can give away a forgery. Her daughter Beverly is a successful Indigenous educator, up for a big promotion. When a reporter begins to dig into the world of counterfeit Indigenous art, a discovery is made that risks jeopardizing both women’s careers, and their relationship, forever.
