Medicine Shows traces Canadian Indigenous theater artists over the past thirty years, illuminating the connections, the artistic genealogy, and the development of a contemporary Indigenous theater practice. Neither a history nor a chronicle, Medicine Shows examines how theater has been used to make medicine: reconnecting individuals and communities, giving voice to the silenced and disappeared, staging ceremony and honoring ancestors.
