Wrecking Ball T.O. 14 was a massive success. A sold out Aki Theatre was standing-room only to witness and participate in a collective artistic response to The Idle No More movement. 27 artists including directors, actors, writers, hosts, singers and hoop dancers brought original and provocative works to the stage for the first time and one time only. Wrecking Ball T.O. 14 was brough to you by Waawaate Fobister, Native Earth Performing Arts and The T.O. Wrecking Ball Crew.
