Les Filles du Roi (The King's Daughters) is a gorgeous new trilingual musical written in English, French, and Kanien'kéha (Mohawk). The powerful story of Kateri, a young Kanien'kehá:ka girl, and her brother Jean-Baptiste whose lives are disrupted upon the arrival of les filles du roi in 1665. They forge an unlikely relationship with young fille Marie-Jeanne Lespérance, whose dreams of a new life are more complicated than she could have imagined. Over the course of a year, Kanien'kehá:ka, French and English journeys collide, setting the stage for the Canada we know today. Payette's music connects the heartbeat of the drum and the soaring voices of our female ancestors in a thrilling contemporary score, weaving three languages and rivaling the beauty of Canada's most stunning landscapes.
