Immersive theatre company ITSAZOO and aboriginal performance company Savage Society bring to life a vibrant and personal account of the ongoing political battles over the Trans Mountain and Northern Gateway pipelines. Peak oil, First Nations land claims, and climate change are all explored with humour and empathy in this timely, meta-theatrical event.
“There is hope in a company like ITSAZOO.”—Marsha Lederman, THE GLOBE AND MAIL

We want our audience to experience the world of the story; to live through it. More about ITSAZOO on their website.
