AGOKWE - Unplugged

Written and Performed by Waawaate Fobister

Agokwe (written and performed by Waawaate Fobister) is a powerful tale that explores unrequited love between teenage boys – a hockey player and a dancer – from neighboring reserves who connect through a mutual love of movement. But when tragedy intervenes, youth, distance, and isolation strive to pull them apart. This award-winning production, described as a “magnetic plea for tolerance and action” by the Georgia Straight, speaks to bullying, homophobia, unrequited love, social isolation and the lost traditions of the Anishnaabe.

Agokwe was developed through the Buddies in Bad Times Theatre Young Creators’ Unit and had its world-premiere at Buddies in Bad Times Theatre in September 2008.
