SUMMARY:Qwalena: The Wild Woman Who Steals Children
DESCRIPTION:Price:\n$15.00 – All Seats \nDate and Time:\nNovember 19\, 2025 – 12:30 pm \n  \n\n  \nIndigenous storyteller Dallas Yellowfly brings “Qwalena: The Wild Woman Who Steals Children” to life in this unique and scary theatrical multimedia storytelling performance.\nThe purpose of this performance is to promote anti-racism\, create awareness of the Indian Act and the intergenerational impacts of Residential Schools while strengthening communities through education. \nIn a dark theatre immersed with echoes of a beating drum\, Yellowfly tells the scary story of a girl who is born different and bullied by kids in her community. She runs away to the forest where a sense of betrayal builds into rage. Over time Qwalena becomes the wild woman who eerily whistles to hide her movements in the forest and steals children who search for her. \nYellowfly later explains that Qwalena is an allegorical creature representing the Indian Agents who stole Indigenous children from their families and forced them into government funded Residential Schools. Yellowfly’s father was one of these children. He vulnerably shares the harrowing story of his father’s life experience and then the intergenerational impacts felt later by his family. The graphic story is truthful and important to share. \nBy blending oral tradition\, multimedia\, mature content and a bit of humour\, Yellowfly hopes to promote an understanding of present day impacts of the Indian Act and how Indigenous Peoples across Turtle Island are trying to break the cycles of oppression caused by Residential Schools.
