About this Event
Nameless and faceless, a woman races through shadows of the merciless woods, dragging her funeral skirts up river to erase her scent, pursued, haunted and driven by the dogs that hunt her. As Jane navigates the harsh, unforgiving landscape of the Canadian wilderness, she confronts not only the physical dangers of the prairie frontier but also the hauntings of her past.
Co-conceived by Jamie Konchak and Eric Rose and devised by a team of Calgary’s top theatre-makers, FRONTIER is a powerful, physically-driven epic exploring of the tension between vulnerability and strength, truth and myth.
