Texts : Michel Cartier Choreography : Michel Cartier This suite tells of a walrus hunt on an ice floe. A shaman’s incantations are heard at the beginning.
The return of the happy hunter marks the beginning of festivities…
…to the sound of drums and songs.
The costumes were made by Inuits from Alaska and the Yukon.
