Marooned is placed in a small intimate gallery space (The New Gallery’s main space), where audience
members are engulfed by an installation of red cotton and plastic
strings; tangled and meticulously designed off the ceiling, walls, and
floor. A dancer moves through the space with care, determination, and an
honest heart. (Runtime approximately 45 mins with no intermission.)

This
event page was created online from Moh’kinsstis, colonially known as
Calgary. This is home to the traditional territories of the peoples of
Treaty 7, which include the Tsuut’ina First Nations, the Blackfoot
Confederacy (comprised of the Siksika, the Piikani, and the Kainai First
Nations), and the Stoney Nakoda (including Chiniki, Bearspaw, and
Goodstoney First Nations). This is also home to the Métis Nation of
Alberta (Districts 5 and 6). Finally, we acknowledge all
Nations—Indigenous and non—who calls Moh’kinsstis, their home.
