Into the D/ark
David Elias
It’s the fall of 1963, and the assassination of John F. Kennedy is seeping into the surreal happenings of small-town southern Manitoba. Clarence Martens, a blacksmith, has turned to creating abstract sculptures, while his wife Rose deals with the aftermath of a fire that left their two sons, Jake and Cornie, disfigured; Martha’s preacher brother Abe has abandoned his congregation to devote himself to making “The Ark”; and Martha is overcome by truths she cannot tell and feelings she must suppress. This all comes to a dramatic climax with the first big snowfall of the year.
