Pintishkannovt nantahaat katihmi? (What Happened to Little Mouse?), is a multidisciplinary theatrical production exploring Native American and Two-Spirit (LGBT) identity through non-verbal interpretations of Chickasaw myths utilizing traditional masks, pantomime and live music. Local drag performer and Two-Spirit artist, Landa Lakes, takes you on a journey with Little Mouse as she explores the ancient world of Southeastern Tribal origin stories. Storyteller, J Miko Thomas (Chickasaw), based these characters on nearly forgotten oral stories passed down through generations and weaves them into one adventure. Along with fellow queer artist Peter Griggs, Thomas sets the mood in this world with sounds and percussion. Choreographer Travis Santell Rowland provides movement as Little Mouse encounters colorful characters on her journey of self-discovery. Following the performance, Landa Lakes will discuss the relevance of these stories in the modern world.
