PIQSIQ
About this event
Due to popular demand, we’re delighted to welcome back PIQSIQ to ArtSpring. With a style perpetually galvanized by darkness and haunting northern beauty, sisters Tiffany Ayalik and Inuksuk Mackay come together to create Inuit-style throat singing duo, PIQSIQ. Performing ancient traditional songs and eerie new compositions, they leave their listeners enthralled with the infinity of possible answers to the question ‘what is the meaning of life?’. With roots in Nunavut, the two grew up in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories. After years of forging hard-won skill, they developed their own style of evocative melodies and otherworldly sounds. Approaching adulthood, they realized throat singing was not only a musical expression, but a radical, political act of cultural revitalization. As PIQSIQ, they have recorded four studio albums and perform improvisational looping live, creating a dynamic audience experience that changes with every show. Thank you to Nancy Farran, Susan Higginbotham, Lenore Pickering, Gerald Tibbits, and Victoria Olchowecki for sponsoring this performance. Tue Feb 16 | 7:30pm | Adult $45, Youth, $10 BUY TICKETS
