An Irreverent Indigenous Reclamation Story

By Yolanda Bonnell

a frank theatre company production, co-presented by the Talking Stick Festival & Full Circle: First Nations Performance

Directed by Quelemia Sparrow

“A powerful Indigenous coming-of-age play...This is theatre as ceremony..." —Glenn Sumi, NOW Toronto

Following a sold-out run in Toronto, the frank theatre presents the West Coast premiere of White Girls in Moccasins by Dora-Award-nominated playwright Yolanda Bonnell.

Miskozi goes on a search for herself and her culture, accompanied by her inner white girl, Waabishkizi, and guided by Ziibi, a manifestation of an ancestral river. White Girls in Moccasins world-hops between dreams, memories, and a surreal game show as Miskozi grapples with living her own truth in a society steeped in white supremacy.
