Testimonials
Its ground-breaking multidisciplinary mix of theatre, music, dance, circus, puppetry, and storytelling has inspired similar events throughout Canada and abroad.
I love how this festival supports new faces and art, and makes space for them on the festival stages, to share their traditions, cultural practises and creative expression.
My class will most remember the quality of the act we saw. It was superb. Absolutely memorable for Kindergarteners. They laughed their heads off.
