The 22nd annual Talking Stick Festival 2023: Summer Reverb kicks off on June 1.
The Festival’s theme, “Summer Reverb” brings together the idea of amplified sound and amplified voices in musical performances, similar to the star and water ripples reverberating outwards. The Talking Stick Festival celebrates diversity and inclusivity, welcoming Two-Spirit and Indigiqueer Artists, and promises vibrant entertainment. The vast range of events include: a documentary screening, a theatre performance, a book launch (accompanied by a conversation with an award-winning author and local journalist), a Burlesque show, the Summer Reverb Gala, Dj Spins, and an immersive 4D audio performance. Sofar Sounds will connect audiences to a live music show with a secret venue and secret artists revealed 24 hours prior to the event.
Headlining the event is musician Logan Staats, DJ KOOKUM and singer-songwriter, activist, and storyteller Pura Fé. Festival partners include: The Cultch, Punctuate! Theatre, Massy Books, Massy Arts, Vancouver Public Library, Queer Arts Festival, Coastal Jazz, VIFF, Primary Colours/Couleurs primaires, and Delinquent Theatre.
