Meet Nakota. A young boy who is sick in the hospital and trying to write the greatest story ever. One day, Grandpa Rocko comes over for a visit. Next thing Nakota knows, he is whisked away into a world of stories that are right below his feet. Within the land. This show explores the interplay between stories of the present against the long forgotten stories of the past.

Rocko and Nakota: Tales From the Land ran for 3 months at the Thousand Faces Festival and at the Ottawa, Winnipeg, Calgary, Edmonton, Victoria, and Vancouver Fringe Festivals. It has also traveled across Canada to various theatres and festivals including the Blyth Festival (Blyth, Ontario), UNO Fest (Victoria, BC), and Deep Freeze Festival (Edmonton, AB). Audiences and critics alike saw the play as a powerful marriage of storytelling and transformatively moving dialogue. See below some statements made by critics and audience members for Rocko and Nakota: Tales From the Land.
