Imagine a King dancing to impress his subjects, demonstrating how he possessed the power,
brilliance and radiance of the sun!
Marvel at a Jesuit refusing a prestigious and comfortable life in France to romance
the wilds of North America where danger and obscurity ruled!
Admire a fearless warrior who gave his allegiance to the spirit and lifestyle of his
countrymen, rather than to victory and supremacy itself!
These extraordinary persons emerge from the past and come to life
with living presence in “Dancing
in the Fire: the Monarch, the Missionary and the Métis”, an “edu-tainment” of first-person historical
interpretation using spoken word, poetry, dance, music and imagery.
This one-man show is written, directed and choreographed by Marc Kotz, a performing
artist whose work has come to embrace the significant contribution and influence that the integrated Native and French cultures
have had in North America, and the resultant Métis (Creole) People who shaped the early communities and heritage of
our continent.
Present the spectacle of “Dancing in the Fire” through your institution or
organization, and enrich and inspire with this unique story of North American legacy. Educational study guides, standards
and benchmarks are available for use in educational settings.
