Kamloopa

CO-PRODUCTION WITH SOULPEPPER

June 23 – July 24, 2022
Young Centre for the Performing Arts 

Always dance like the ancestors are watching.

With brilliance, irreverence, and fearless wit, three Indigenous women hit the road on their way to the largest powwow on the West Coast – and to self-discovery. But how do you discover yourself when Columbus allegedly already did that? Come along for the ride to connect with the ancestors on this mind bending and boundary blurring adventure.
