<p><strong>Cliff Cardinal</strong> returns to Crow’s Theatre for a special, one-week presentation of his critically acclaimed, award-winning solo show <strong>HUFF</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>HUFF </strong>is the savagely funny and harrowing tale of Wind and his brothers as they struggle with their mother’s death, a&nbsp;reserve school system&nbsp;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> Cliff Cardinal</strong> is known for his dark humour, compassionate poeticism, and acclaimed solo shows <em>Stitch, Cliff Cardinal’s CBC Special, </em>and<em> William Shakespeare’s As You Like It, A Radical Retelling by Cliff Cardinal. </em></p>
<p><strong>Karin Randoja </strong>is an award-winning director, actor, teacher, singer, and composer who regularly collaborates with Cliff.</p>
