<p><strong>Cliff Cardinal</strong><span> </span>returns to Crow’s Theatre for a special, one-week presentation of his critically acclaimed, award-winning solo show<span> </span><strong>HUFF</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>HUFF<span> </span></strong>is the savagely funny and harrowing tale of Wind and his brothers as they struggle with their mother’s death, a reserve school system that’s failing them, and a solvent-abuse problem. Wind’s fantastic, gas-induced dream world blurs his harsh reality in this powerful, disturbing, and comic tale of family, love, and despair.</p>
<p>“One of the most important playwrights and performers in Canada” (<em>Toronto Star</em>),<strong><span> </span>Cliff Cardinal</strong><span> </span>is known for his dark humour, compassionate poeticism, and acclaimed solo shows<span> </span><em>Stitch, Cliff Cardinal’s CBC Special,<span> </span></em>and<em><span> </span>William Shakespeare’s As You Like It, A Radical Retelling by Cliff Cardinal.</em></p>
<p><strong>Karin Randoja<span> </span></strong>is an award-winning director, actor, teacher, singer, and composer who regularly collaborates with Cliff.</p>
