Our 2024 - 25 Season



Full Circle Theater Presents a Production of 

Adventures of a Traveling Meskwaki

by Oogie_Push


Directed by Sara Pillatzki-Warzeha


November 7 - 24, 2024

The Adventures Of A Traveling Meskwaki by Oogie_Push, a member of the Meskwaki Nation is a multimedia, Native storytelling performance piece. Inspired by the actions of the water walkers, Native grandmothers working to protect one of our planet’s most precious resources, Adventures traces Oogie’s travels across North America as she is moved by a vision to cleanse the water after major oil spills. Through her time with myriad tribal nations, she develops simple yet profound healing practices to help heal the water. Using film projection, movement, storytelling, and ceremony, she inspires us to take our own small steps to restore the water and heal the planet.
