Thunder, written by Natasha Barlow, is a coming-of-age story that follows a neurodivergent child growing up alongside their cherished Rez dog. This poignant narrative explores the unique bond between the two as they navigate the complexities of life in a bush setting. The performance is part of the Weesageechak Begins to Dance 37 festival, showcasing Indigenous storytelling in a contemporary context. It will be presented at Aki Studio on November 28 and December 1, 2024.
