Playwright-performer Coleen Shirin MacPherson refers to herself as “colonized upon arrival,” born in Canada yet shaped by migrations and erasures that predate her birth. “I don’t have an ancient song or a lullaby that connects us across generations,” she tells her child. That absence — of song, language, and unbroken tradition — propels the Cahoots Theatre production.
