MARCH 1, 2018– IQALUIT (Canada) –Qaggiavuut welcomes back our talented cast and crew from an unprecedented tour of Nunavut communities where they not only performed Kiviuq Returns but did so with hundreds of Nunavut children and youth in 11 communities and all three regions.
The cast and crew, who are all young Inuit, taught children and youth the songs and stories they had learned from elders. Not only did youth in small communities experience theatre and perform but they saw Inuit youth in leadership positions—managing the tour, teaching, performing and running the technical aspects of the show.
We are so proud of these Inuit youth and the elders and mentors!
