Go Angel Girfriends

Collective Creation
By the Women of Ynklude

May 22-24, 2008

 

“Lively and fast-paced…Poignant and moving…illuminated the audience on what it’s like to live with disabilities.”

- Whitehorse Star

“…an overwhelming celebration of the human spirit that mercifully smothers stereotypes and one-dimensional caricatures.”

- Audience member

In a village watched by angels, voluptuous goddesses sing, laugh, dream, and celebrate. The women’s spirits and friendships give them strength despite barriers in their world. A celebration of resiliency and overcoming uncommon odds.
