About the event

Refuge of Meaning: Live performance by the Re:Imagine Collective

Experience a unique musical and dance performance 75 feet underground inspired by the Diefenbunker’s creation and the themes of protection and belonging. 


Refuge of Meaning is a performance work that explores parts of the history creation and inspiration of the Diefenbunker through music and dance. 


Dancer and choreographer Elizabeth Emond-Stevenson and loop pedal violist and composer Kathryn Patricia Cobbler explore the strength and resonance of the feminine voice through this work. As well as highlighting the Critical Path Method that was instrumental in the development of the Diefenbunker Refuge of Meaning holds space for voices that may have been less present during the facility’s creation. Unpacking themes of protection care of the land and care for each other this work invites audiences to contemplate their own definitions of safety and security while collectively answering the question . . . “do I belong here”?
