Welcome to the Show! 
Get ready for a powerful and unforgettable evening of theatre with NEW BLOOD.   You are going to witness a moving blend of traditional Blackfoot dance and drumming with the evocative music of Peter Gabriel, performed live by the Calgary Civic Symphony. This acclaimed production tells the inspiring true story of Chief Vincent Yellow Old Woman, a residential school survivor who rose to lead the Siksika Nation.  Through stunning choreography, live music, and heartfelt storytelling, NEW BLOOD will immerse you in a deeply emotional and culturally rich experience—one that will stay with you long after the final curtain. Join us at the Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium for a night you’ll never forget.
