Tono was featured as part of the Closing Ceremonies of the cultural programming of the 2008 Beijing Olympics, the 2008 Meet in Beijing Festival, and International Arts and Culture Festival in Inner Mongolia.

Red Sky’s new creation, Tono, brings together Indigenous cultures of Canada, Mongolia and China and will be a highlight at this year’s Luminato Festival on June 5, 6, 7, 2009 at the Fleck Dance Theatre in downtown Toronto.

Conceived, co-choreographed and directed by artistic director Sandra Laronde with co-choreography by Roger Sinha, this new dance and music creation brings together the Indigenous cultures of Canada, Mongolia and China.

Tono is heavily grounded in the theme of horse culture, spanning plains tradition in Asia and North America with a storyline about shamanism on both continents, and a creature universally regarded as the epitome of strength, grace and beauty.

Commissioned and co-produced by The Banff Centre and Luminato

"Vividly and viscerally illustrates Laronde's discoveries of meeting points among indigenous cultures."
