She Holds Up the Stars at Roy Thomson Hall

Red Sky Performance and the Toronto Symphony Orchestra present the world premiere of She Holds Up the Stars, on stage at Roy Thomson Hall on April 19, 2026 at 1:30pm and 4pm. Created and directed by Sandra Laronde, based on her award-winning young adult novel of the same name, She Holds Up the Stars follows a young Indigenous girl searching for her mother’s truth. Through an unexpected bond with a spirited horse, she finds courage and resilience in a world shaped by beauty, cruelty, and the deep pull of land and family. The multidisciplinary production brings together a contemporary Indigenous story, theatre, puppetry, and live orchestral music to create an immersive and deeply moving experience for audiences of all ages, exploring themes of identity, belonging, and relationship to land.
