Watch: "iinisikimm" an AFA Commemorative Art Project
iinisikimm is an immersive puppet-lantern performance that celebrates the reintegration of buffalo into the natural ecosystem of Banff National Park. Learn more about iinisikimm here.
This past August, audiences in Banff and Calgary experienced outdoor performances featuring hand-made lantern puppets, drumming from Eya-Hey Nakoda, and performances by the Czapno Theatre Ensemble. The puppets shared the story of the buffalo, told by Blackfoot trickster God Napi.
The iinisikimm group will also be producing a comic book, estimated to be released in November.If you weren't able to make it out to a performance, never fear! We've put together a short video to share a taste of the performance with everyone.
iinisikimm was created with support from the Alberta Foundation for the Arts Commemorative Art Projects funding.
