Join us as Indigenous storyteller Dallas Yellowfly brings the scary story of “Qwalena: The Wild Woman That Steals Children” to life in the planetarium star theatre.

In this unique theatrical performance Yellowfly blends Oral Tradition, multimedia and a bit of humour to explore the intergenerational impact of Indian residential schools, and to create a better understanding of the Indian Act.

Dallas Yellowfly is a member of the Siksika First Nation, who was born and raised on Sto:lo territory practicing coastal cultures. After completing a Bachelors of Arts degree in Sociology/Anthropology, he pursued both stand up comedy and music professionally. Dallas blends his experience in stand up comedy, music, and film making to create engaging multimedia storytelling performances.

Recommended for ages 13+. This performance contains some coarse language and mature subject matter.

Tickets available online through Eventbrite until 12:00pm on November 14th.
