Awoowaakii at Theatre Calgary

A Story About the Importance of Family

Awoowaakii is a living room comedy of errors about Chrissy Sipatsimo, a Blackfoot transgender woman whose estranged father, Joseph, shows up in her life again. Joseph mistakes Chrissy’s friend Toni for Chrissy herself, and confusion ensues. This world premiere by local playwright Sable Sweetgrass is an immersive theatre experience, where the audience is enveloped within the world of the play in the intimate Arts Commons Big Secret Theatre.
