Erica Wilson is a Winnipeg-born Indigenous theatre artist. Moving beyond the constraints of traditional "Main Stage" storytelling, she now channels her creativity through her persona, Miss Carcass Caresse.

Her current work-in-progress is a 45-minute piece centered on the theme of Water. Drawing from original poetry and mask work. She parallels the shapeshifting, extraction, and life-giving nature of water. Through Miss Carcass Caresse, she reclaims her artistic narrative, blending silliness, stillness, and dance inspired movement to build new worlds on stage.

Thank you to Kiyanaan Indigenous Theatre Festival.

Content Warnings: Strobe lighting, smudge/smoke, mature audience, sexual themes, suggestive content.

Length: ~45 Minutes

Over the past three years, Climate Play has created eight hyper-local verbatim plays in eight different communities, including Whitehorse. The national Climate Play braids together four main elements from the plays: the script edited from the transcripts of the interviews; photos and videos of local land, water, and nature filmed by local artists in each community;  a mid-show facilitated audience discussion; original music inspired by the transcripts of the interviews, including a new song generated from the end Act I discussion and performed for the first time.

Presented by Community Circle. Thank you to Canada Council for the Arts, University of British Columbia, and Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada.

Content Warnings: Existential dread.

Length: ~100 Minutes + 15 Minute Intermission
