In The Name Of Humanity is a collaborative-creation, devised show created with local indigenous and first nations artists from Manitoulin Island, Canada, directed by Carlos García Estévez and Paige Allerton.

This TransPoetico Production and third part of The Epic Borders Trilogy was produced and hosted by Debajehmujig Theatre Group and premiered as part of their annual 6 Foot Festival October 7th 2021.  Since, it has been further refined and developed in a second creation period in November and December of 2021. 

The process of creation used Manifesto Poetico’s fundamental research, and living pedagogic language to make a new theatrical language on the spot for and with the group and their audience. The show is nourished by current news, local knowledge, every-day stories as well as traditional knowledge, provided by elders and community members of Wikwemikong, Elder David Osawabine, and the Debajehmujig Team.  

Manifesto Poetico has embarked on a journey of research with participating artists, exploring the elements that are their reality and surroundings in order to transpose them into a poetic language: the social, the patterns, the waves, the hopes, the dreams and the consequences.
