The Chimera Project – Silly Billy

Come on a journey celebrating the beauty of individuality in this unique show where First Nations traditions and western dance and theatre meet. Silly Billy is a story about a rare white buffalo, unhappy with his uniqueness, who goes on a quest to find the magical Unicorn in the hopes of emulating this mythical creature.  Through adventures, obstacles, misunderstandings and mishaps, Billy discovers his own self-worth, embraces his difference, and takes his place alongside the Unicorn as the legendary great white buffalo of the plains.

First Nations Dance workshops are also available.
