Since our establishment in 1999, Theaturtle has been creating essential ecstatic theatre that transcends borders, touches the earth and ignites the soul. We take our time developing music-infused theatre work from non-theatrical sources and tour it within Toronto, across Canada, and around the world.

Kiuryaq

Kiuryaq is an immersive circumpolar performance about our relationship with the Northern Lights. This multi-disciplinary piece was created by music, film and theatre artists from Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples of Canada, Greenland, Sápmi territory and Alaska. We follow stories, frightening, spiritual, epic and playful, which inspire us through the aurora borealis, and which connect our memories and experiences. Kiuryaq is a transformative work which gathers the circumpolar region to share its wisdom, warnings and humour with the world.
