Associating striking images to a universe of desolation, Lara Kramerdepicts, without any sugarcoating, the often-ignored tragic reality of the indigenous people. On an empty stage, two men, Peter James and Jassem Hindi, wage war on boredom. A raw and visceral performance, accompanied by audio recordings collected by Lara Kramer on her grandma’s reserve in Ontario, Windigo confronts solitude and distress, thereby offering a breach in the infernal cycle of acculturation.
