A live performance about the forces pushing us apart, and what it means to be together.

Making sense of Blackness in the Prairies, of our relationship to this land, and of who has come before us. 

A dark, twisted narrative unfolding across a digital ecosystem that explores the aftermath of a gay 14-year-old's suicide, his family and church's refusal to hold a funeral for him, and the social movements that emerge in protest.

Amidst the largest collective crisis many of us have ever faced, how do we care for ourselves in honest and compassionate ways in order to minimize pain, and to heal?
