After attending the new opera Silent Light at the Banff Centre last night, I learned that the production is closely based on the 2007 film Stellet Licht by Carlos Reygadas. I learned that in addition to writing a novel (tagged) about Mexican Mennonites involved with the filming of this movie, Miriam Toews actually played a central character (Esther) in the film.

llwheeler Interesting! I've read the tagged book but I didn't know the connections 6y
Lindy @llwheeler I found it interesting too. Now I want to see the movie. 6y
Cathythoughts Interesting! Stacking. I‘d love to see the movie too ... to see her acting in her own story 6y

I‘m about to see a new opera. It‘s about Mennonites in Mexico, so I‘ve hung this post on a book with the same subject. 🎭

Saw a world premiere theatre adaptation (by Chris Craddock) of this novel last night in Edmonton and it was wonderful. Miriam Toews is a genius of tragicomedy. Loved the show!
