Bisland & Bly

At a time when most victorian women were confined to the home, journalists Nellie Bly and Elizabeth Bisland embarked on solo journeys around the globe. Racing to beat the record of the fictional hero of Around the World in Eighty Days, these women quested for fame, fortune, and independence. This folk/americana musical captures this story through the lens of a contemporary friendship, where the lives of two young women are shaped by their ever-changing relationship to these heroines. Across the generations, B&B asks, "What makes someone a hero? And what happens after you conquer the world?"

"We wish to honour the Anishinaabe, the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, the Wendat, and the Neutral Nation who are the traditional custodians of the land upon which we stand and the waters that flow through it. It is our privilege to share this land, which has been the site of imagination since the beginning of human experience.  

 

Hermione Presents ~ SpringWorks is located on land governed by both the Dish With One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant of 1701 and the Huron Tract Treaty of 1827. We are mindful of broken covenants and the need for us to respectfully listen, to learn from our mutual history and to strive continuously for reconciliation at all levels. 

 

The responsibility to nurture this land and protect the future falls to us all and in so doing, we actively honour the wisdom of those who came before us."
