Friends of Ganondagan has collaborated with GEVA Theatre in Rochester, NY to provide Indigenous programming around the performance.
Rochester, NY— DeLanna Studi, Cherokee performance artist and activist, shares a powerful, multi-faceted dramatic memoir in And So We Walked: An Artist’s Journey Along the Trail of Tears. This frank, heartwarming and inspiring story recounts the experience of a contemporary Cherokee woman (Studi) who, with her father, embarks on an incredible 900-mile journey along the Trail of Tears to truly understand her own identity and the conflicts of her nation. The play recounts the six-week journey, which retraced the path her great-great grandparents took in the 1830s during the forced relocation of 17,000 Cherokee from their homelands. Highlights include special programming & 25% discount on ALL performances! (using code FOG) To purchase tickets, visit GevaTheatre.org or call 585-232-4382.
