Huff
Auburn Stage | February 6 to 17, 2024
From Cliff Cardinal, multi-award-winning Cree writer, poet and actor, comes a darkly comedic solo production that tells the tale of Wind and his two brothers, who are caught in a torrent of solvent abuse and struggling to cope with the sudden death of their mother. Wind’s fantastic dream world bleeds into his haunting reality, as he’s preyed on by the Trickster through the hallways at school, the abandoned motel he loves more than home, and his own fragile psyche.
A theatrical breath of fresh air, the critically-acclaimed Huff has shocked audiences across North America with its biting humour, unflinching honesty, and ability to find laughter in the darkest places.
Age Recommendation: 16+
