Conrad Grebel University College Student Council is proud to present the first Canadian production of The Clockmaker's Daughter. Set in late 1800's Ireland, master clockmaker Abraham Reed, after the loss of his daughter, accidentally creates a mechanical girl that comes to life and names her Constance. Despite her life-like appearance, he tells her to remain hidden from the outside world, but her curiosity leads her to escape her confines. The tale follows her as she discovers what it means to be human.
From the Kwantlen First Nation village of Squa’lets comes the tale of Th’owxiya, an old and powerful spirit that inhabits a feast dish of tempting, beautiful foods from around the world. When she catches a hungry mouse named Kw’at’el stealing a piece of cheese from her dish, she threatens to devour Kw’at’el’s whole family, unless he can bring Th’owxiya two child spirits. Ignorant but desperate, Kw’at’el sets out on an epic journey to fulfill the spirit’s demands.
