Nattiup Pisinga | Oran an Roin

Igloolik

Artcirq’s newest circus production produced and written by its younger generation. Set around Naujaruluk near Igloolik, it follows the story of a selkie, a seal woman from Scottish folklore, who has lost her seal skin and become disconnected from who she is. For Maya, the director, selkie stories have always made her feel at home, and this connection to seals and the ocean both in her Scottish heritage and living in Igloolik has been welcoming and grounding. Incorporating elements of the casts’ shared Scottish history that coexist alongside their own traditions, this is a show about seals, the spirit world, transformation, and our connection to the land and to each other. It is a journey of slipping our skins back on and reconnecting with who we are.

Following the show there will be food, a special performance from the Amittuq Dancers and hukki dancing for all with live music!

No tickets are needed. The show is pay-what-you-can at the door.

We can’t wait to see you there!
