It's day TWO of DYE!
As we continue with more workshops and performances, we are delighted to introduce you to our final key show: Nbwaachaadaa Nokomis by Danielle Boissoneau!

Amidst the chaos of everyday survival in a contemporary Indigenous community, Dawnis and her Mum receive an unexpected package - a gift from Nokomis, sent from beyond the grave. Inside are sacred items and a message: an invitation to begin the work of healing generations of inherited pain. As Dawnis is drawn into the spiritual realm where her Nokomis still guides and watches over her, she must choose: face the trauma that haunts her family or turn away and risk losing herself - and her lineage - forever.

Join us tomorrow to see Nbwaachaadaa Nokomis at Theatre Aquarius at 3:00pm!
This is a show you won't want to miss.

Tickets are available on our website (link in bio!), so get yours soon to see Nbwaachaadaa Nokomis - and today's performance of Ancestors Soup!
