Theater workshop with various artistic methods
Mia and Lara are best friends growing up in a small town in Western Canada. But Mia gradually realizes just how different their lives are. She belongs to an Indigenous community, while Lara is part of the white middle class—a contrast that shapes how the world around them views the two girls. Based on the author’s autobiography, this powerful book unfolds in short episodes, offering a compelling glimpse into a friendship marked by racism and classism.
What happens in the workshop?
Through the friendship of Mia and Lara, pupils approach questions of prejudice and social inequality. What kind of world do we live in and what kind of world do we want to live in?
