Rubaboo - A Métis Cabaret
2026-04-29 - 2026-05-23 | Royal Manitoba Theatre Centre, 174 Market Ave, Winnipeg, Manitoba, R3B 0P8, Canada
“There is a palpable sense of belonging from the moment the curtain rises. Menard welcomes the audience as if they are visiting her home.” – Broadway World
Métis singer-songwriter Andrea Menard’s feast for the senses blends master storytelling with the beauty of Métis culture through music, dance and visual art.
Derived from the Michif word for “leftovers stew” or “big pot,” Rubaboo blends diverse cultural influences and invites us to reflect on the ongoing journey of cultural preservation and pride. Featuring the sounds of drums and guitar, this grand musical feast includes songs of reconciliation, unity, love and resilience.
